I'm afraid I can't remember any more detail about it as it was so long ago. There were two important stages IIRC (once I'd configured it to use the compat libs). First was creating some kind of link to get the icons to work. That gave me a usable browser but which crashed too often. The secon was to move the configuration file to the correct folder which configured cache sizes etc. This made it pretty much rock solid.

Just got opera to work...

Here is what I did:

(remSite is my install destination on server via nfs, local mountpoint /mnt/simpad/remSite... you probably need to use destination card or something... you should know best yourself :-) )

cd /
find . -name .opera
find . -name opera

remove everything you find!

--> Download opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk


ipkg install -d remSite http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0...._0.5-r2_arm.ipk
ipkg-link add sharp-compat-libs

ipkg install -d remSite opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk
ipkg-link add opera
rm /home/root/.opera
rm /home/root/.operasave
rm /usr/share/opera

ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ /usr/share/opera
ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ /usr/share/opera
ln -s /mnt/simpad/remSite/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera /home/root/.opera
ln -s /mnt/simpad/remSite/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.operasave /home/root/.operasave

makecompat /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera

...should...(could) work...

I'm sorry I have to deinstall Opera because of licensing issues

I *LIKE* OpenSimpad/Familiar...
Own my Simpad since Thursday and flashed it after maybe 5-6 hours to linux, tried different images.
Then, because i didnt get nfs to run(mounting samba doesnt even work now  ), i switched back to Windows, just to realize its... unusable...

Now i got nfs to work (dont ask why it didnt work before, maybe different image)  now i'm using http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/opensimpad/2...32.rootfs.jffs2
and changed all feeds to folders in http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/opensimpad/20050620/

... works best for me...

Just 2 Things left at the moment:
-*working* mp3 support; opieplayer2 doesnt play most mp3 (but some *do* work); xmms just makes a buzzing sound that blows my ears(directly after it starts)
-rdesktop or vnc with 16bit-color-support

WLAN incl. WEP (it just works in contrary to §$&!!!!*'-Windows)
Mail (IMAP, SMTP)
mounted remote Filesystem ('unlimited' space)
Konqueror, Opera, vnc+rdesktop(8bit), opie-reader, opie-eye

It just works (ok.. nearly: crackling sound before suspend and such mini-problems..) and i like it!

Keep on doing the Good Work!    

greets,
naxan

PS: /etc/init.d/quickexec has to be started for opera to work. (I have to start it manually because at booting time my nfs isnt connected.. and that's where quickexec actually resides)
