Good Day!
<SNIP>
CONS:
- this can probably be improved once I figure out some power saving
settings
Enable apmd, my setup[0].
* If the system is reset (as if battery + power was removed for a
minute), and I boot with a CF card inserted, I can't boot.
Yap, also a problem with USB periphs. Reboot and all should be ok.
- this has been blamed on the linux boot process. don't know if it's
fixable
Definately for CF cards and MicroDrives, for other peripherals don't
quote me, hehehe.
* No cross compiler? I'm not looking forward to building large
packages
* Looks like I need to learn how to mirror packages and set them up to
build overnight the way barryg does (thanks for the info)
Instructions here[1] and here[2]. At home, I mount ports and build dirs
through USB, at the office, I NFS mount them.
* xterm doesn't have flexible font scaling (go from 6pt micro 170
columns to 16 point lcd 79 columns with a few button presses)
There are many terminal emulators that are featurefull on the ports
tree, I use the in tree xterm as it has been audited by the OpenBSD devs
security wise and does priviledge dropping.
* Bluetooth stack probably not available any time in the immediate
future
There is a dev on this, though I think it is of low priority now.
PLANS:
* build some useful applications, especially fluxbox and eterm
There is a blackbox package on the snapshots dir[3].
* dual boot cacko or pdaXrom from 1gb SD card
No, triple boot! Sharp Linux on NAND flash, OpenBSD on MicroDrive, and/
{Cacko|pdaXrom} on SD. ;)
Thanks again.
