Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta3 For C1000/c3100/c3200 And X86

[anunakin]

My first impressions:

1- Load time for FLASHed applications are a bit slow;
2- SSH access from PC to Z, by Wireless are more fast.
3- rxvt are nice!  
4- Wifi applet now works

Crashs:
1- Lost /dev/hda (Internal HDD) device node, but back after reboot
2- Missing libiconv.so.2

Questions:
1- Why not have rosetta on pdaXrom, like a applet   ?
2- Why not have a full pdaXrom for SL-C3x00 machines using all 128MB?

Everything seems to be fine and on par to when I used it on my 1000.  The one thing I have noticed- if I pull my wifi card out everyonce in awhile it freezes.  I can still tap the screen and move the cursor aorund but nothing will operate.

I've always wondered about the choice of programs that was included in the base install, eg like why have both aterm and xterm, when I use neither as I much prefer mrxvt. However what I would like to see is,  instead of increasing the size of the base install, I would like a minimal install. That way I can add just the things that I want, and I don't have to go around removing things that I don't need (like Xdemineur (or however you spell it).

I think that is why sashz has provided us with the Builder system. If I understand the docs correctly, you just select the stuff you like, and off it goes to build you a spanking new customised rom. I have to have a serious play with it over the weekend.

Thank you!

What about SD driver?
Is there a new Sharp (from SL-C3200), or yours? Have it any problems with >1Gb Cards?

in RXVT press Fn+Shift+up/down

for UTF8 chars use rxvt, no xterm

2- Missing libiconv.so.2

libiconv is not used anymore for this release...so  I guess someone will have to make an compat ipk so that  application compiled for previous releases can work...

installing :
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/1.1.0beta2/Zaurus-....2_armv5tel.ipk

can perhaps help

less is missing from the feed! In the meantime, the package from 1.10beta1 works. This is one of those "must have" programs that really ought to be in the base install.

I believe sashz only builds the whole feed with the 7x0 build.
So all the missing packages should be in this one (when it's online)

This time round the CXXX feed is a lot bigger than previous releases so I thought "maybe this time we will get a full for the CXXX machines", especially since there was no C7X0 feed mentioned. However when I was working through my list of apps to reinstall when I got down to gnumeric and found that it was missing so I installed the beta2 version, then goffice is missing too (and maybe a bunch of the other stuff that gnumeric depends on). So you're right I had better wait for the C7X0 feed to come up.

I agree with you Desertrat, i would like a minimal installation too.
So i could cross-compile new glib,atk,gtk packages without breaking the ROM.
But think about newbye users, i don' t know if they really could be in mess without the graphical installation integrated into ROM.  
As i see the very first question is "How do i start graphics tools?" that is logical.
So i' wondering if could be possible to have to kind of ROMS, like Family that has BOOTSTRAP,GPE,OPIE, and if that could be lead to confusion.
BYEZ!

Hi

pdaXrom (1.1.0beta3), sl-c3200

installation was ok, though there was a japanese confirmation menu i did not expect (i safely hit th 'Y' answer).

i partitioned the suggested 58M for / (root), which i believe was a bad idea -- i should make it larger

i did not encounter any serious problems, just:

* keyboard switching does not seems to remmap the keys back (try english keyborad -> czech keyborad -> english keyboard) == you will end up with some czech characters still mapped

* not always ok from suspend -- while the music was n, i suspended and the /dev/dsp seemed to be used --> i was not able to use it again till reboot (i tried to stop X, stop esd, unload mmc* modules)

* i am unable to set hw clock to UTC and than set timezone appropriately to show my local time (CEST), so i have clock in UTC

* SD 1G memory (Kingston Ultimate 133x), CF Wifi (Planex CF11X), USB bluetooth dongle (3com SL-1020), ethernet over USB -- everything is fine, only the ethernet over USB is needed to set with smaller MTU, or the communication starts to stall for bigger files, (ie. bigger then mtu usb can handle) (no entry for it in the gui, so i execute this command everytime i connect my zaurus to debian desktop: ifconfig usbd0 mtu 500)

* i miss my sharp remote for music playback, was not cheap to buy and i dont want sharp Rom once i saw this one -- any chance to get it working?

* i noticed that some keys '@', '.' were not available while i was in command line (before 'startx')

* software: i miss emacs, some python modules, ncftp, gnuplot

Anyway, first experience with pdaXrom and im very pleased!  easy installation, nice look, good software feed

Thanks a lot
