Help Making It Fit
« on: April 30, 2006, 09:50:43 am »
I have tried a number of times to get Beta2 on my Z860 and I am not haveing much luck.
I have a 1Gig SD card formated for ext2 and a 128Meg CF card formated for vfat. (I would prefer to keep the CF card as vfat becase that is the card I use to reflash my Zaurus.

The most important app for me is kdepim (the organizer, contacts, and password applications).
I also like to have xpdf, perl, and a few games. So fare the new version of kdepim (add the associated liberaries) does not fit if installed on / and if I install it on /mnt/card it does not seem to install correctly IE no icons and no command line.

Can someone speak to the best practices for useing the "disk" space I have.?
Are there steps that I need to take t install applications from the feed into the spaces I have and make them work like they should?
Suggestions that include buying new cards are ok, but I have a number of broken SD cards and do not like the structure of the format. Buying another CF card could be an option but I would like to at least get some basic stuff working again before I though more money at the problem. (would also like to though money at the pdaxrom team rather than the memory card manufactures)

As Laze said... also long as your card is formated with ext2 or ext3 it will should work fine.... all directories will be installed and setup similiar to you flash partition ie usr, lib, home...

if you are atleast seeing these dir's you are getting somewhere...

where are you looking for these icons
/usr/share/pixmaps ?
/usr/local/share/pixmaps ?
