http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/t/oz3...ckages-list.txt contain list of packages
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119362\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I couldn't find abiword or gnumeric in that list- have they not been packaged for 3.5.4 yet or have I got to get them from elsewhere? I'm just about to try installing the new c3000 GPE image but it will be no use without those 2 packages unfortunately- they do run under OZ/GPE right?

Browsing the list at http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/t/oz3...ckages-list.txt
I noticed mysql4 and php4 packages. I didn't see anything for apache other than a perl/cgi module. Is apache available for OZ or will I have to track it down from some other source? Will installing Apache, MySQL, PHP on OZ/OPIE OZ/GPE provide a complete soultion for on the road web/php/sql development?

Awesomeness.

Loaded my 6000L up with the new OZ/GPE image (and I have to say GPE 2.7 is hella nice)!  A job well done.

Can I take the occassion to ask if anyone would explain what the differences between OpenZaurus and pdaXrom are?

I've seen the feed features an X11 section and you use GPE, so is it basically like pdaXrom in the sense that you run X apps with no prob?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119150\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The benefit is that things in OZ are designed to work on a PDA where as things in pdaXrom are just crosscompiled. If you do want to run X app which have not been adapted for a PDA, you may have more luck with pdaXrom, it's like a linux notebook.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119211\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

That's not true. OE (and thus OZ) has many 'unadapted' X apps like gimp, inkscape, abiword, gnumeric, firefox, enlightenment, xfce, gnuplot, gnome etc. If you want to install an extra X app, you just have to ask one of the OZ people to put it in the feeds, we do a lot of stuff on request


(As a side note: Previously a lot of people went like "Foo is missing, OZ sucks" before even asking for it to included, I'm glad that has changed)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119229\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]


Can someone who used both please comment on how well firefox runs on OZ vs pdaXrom? I'm still on cacko but it seems like time has arrived to finally try something new.

maybe some really simple automation stuff?

--install to <cf, sd, whatever> as an option when flashing? a simple opie/gpe dual flash option?

--an obvious "Start network services" sort of button on gpe? (I'm still doing it manually on the 6k)

a >2g sd driver?

I haven't touched OZ in a few versions, and haven't spent much time on this current gpe flash. It maybe that all this stuff is already child's play and I just haven't noticed yet.

Congrats on the new release, actually I'm facing a couple of problems.

I can't get my ambicom wi-fi working, it used to work on 3.5.2 now it doesn't  respond any attempt to bring it up, although it gets recognized by the card manager.

The other thing is the altboot, how do I comply with the kernel it is asking for: embedix-3.5.4, (I used the fresh release for the flashing).

Thanks in advance.

will it ask for the altboot password everytime it boots? Mostly just a curiosity.  Thanks to all. I really like the GPE, I was previously using OPIE, but I'll stick w/ this.

altboot asks for password only on first boot - it use this pass only when someone try to boot directly into shell.

bonlebon: you NEED to flash 3.5.4 kernel - thats why you have this message and thats why you have problem with wifi card.

Is any work around to OE bug 538 (top row of the built-in keyboard does not generate the correct keystrokes
when using them with the Fn key to type numbers on Tosa (SL-6000))?
This bug is real show stopper for OZ-3.5.4 on Tosa.

Hrw: Not to get off topic, but is there anywhere I can read about why that is? I'm not a proficient programmer, but I am interested in the subject matter a lot. :-)

I flashed with the embedix-3.5.4 kernel and altboot keeps complaining I've got kernel embedix-021129, any help?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119697\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Its not altboot but one of our startup scripts. And if it say that you have embedix-021129 then YOU DO NOT HAVE correct kernel.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']All problems from users with that message are going to be ignored - you NEED 3.5.4 rootfs + 3.5.4 kernel.[/span]

bonlebon: problem is on your side - I flashed my collie few times with OZ 3.5.4 and it works.

Triple check does you have zImage on cf card when it comes to flashing. no zimage or ZIMAGE or zImage.bin but zImage
