Trying To Install Oz 3.5.3 On Akita

[champagnierle]

Hi,
I'm proud owner of a C1000. Normally it is flashed with SharpROM 1.01JP and it's working. I tried to flash OZ one week ago, achieved in booting, but I had no chance to enter characters except from non capital letters. I furthermore tried to get USB working with my windows PC but also didn't succed :-(
The GUI of the "default" OZ (OPIE) is really much nicer than the SHARP one - looks MUCH MORE like a linux -, but unfortunately I don't have the time to test all stuff until it works and as I'm reading some of you succeeded in installing/using OZ there might be some docu somwhere.... Is there any documentation about what to patch
-to get the whole keyboard working (starting from the default image in the download section)
-to get connected with a PC (preferably Windows)
-to install ko/pi and ka/pi for using the Data stored in /home when using the sharpROM?

I would really appreciate help as I don't find enough documentation for my problems and I'm still a bit timid when trying some stuff.

P.S.: I would really PREFER OZ as it is MUCH nicer than SharpROM...

Okay. I tried to... But why are there soooo many files in the feed? I searched for 3 files. And I got 4 of them. Okay, bootstrap-image -> initrd, updater.sh.akita -> updater.sh, but what about the other two... How are those files applied? I think the zImage.akita is the zImage. But what about the big image... how does this image have to be applied?

Thx for your answer

You are right... The update was worth it. Congratulations to your job! I'm using OPIE now and it looks really good (more exactly: FANTASTIC!!). I hope to be able to install kopi and kapi soon to reuse all the data I entered when working with the SHARP Rom.

Right now I don't know how to connect to a windows PC but maybe I'll find somthing. I even found a hint to install the whole qtopia for windows and afterwards it might work... But I'll find out.
