Up your NAND to 50MB.  You are out of root space.

You need to get your WiFi connection going. I recommend not using the qpacker GUI because if there are problems you have no way of answering ipkg\'s yes/no prompts. Use the terminal instead:
Code: [Select]
ipkg update

ipkg install sd-module


Otherwise, you\'ll have to wait for pdaXrom.org to have the ipks on their site. Alternately, you could try my method posted above, look at the Packages text at  http://212.192.116.30/pdaXrom/feed/Packages and try to guess the file name. The good news is Sashz seems to be pretty consistant in his naming conventions so try copying sd-module_1.0_armv5tel.ipk after feed/ in your browser\'s URL and hit enter. Just tried it and it works  

As for upping my NAND to 50mb, not so much   . Wouldn\'t boot, tried 48mb, no go, then 45mb which worked. Now have been able to install abiword & konqueror-embedded. Discovered in order to see the icons for the apps needed to reboot.

Is there a way to log out of the X GUI instead of rebooting?

Also suspend seems to be problematic, suspended with the menu, then powered back up with the Home key, but digitizer was unresponsive, the pointer moved to where the stylus touched but couldn\'t get it to activate anything.

This ROM really make the Z a real linux machine, though. You can  use the terminal at login with out the X-server running. I rebooted with my WiFi card in and noticed that the LED was blicking after I logged in as root. Ran iwconfig and sure enough I was connected to my network. Pinged my desktop and all was good. Ran a few more terminal commands, then started the X GUI, very cool.

Cheers,

Jerry

There is a menu that you are presented when you flash the ROM called Resize NAND.  Just click the option and type in 50.  Afterwards, you will need to reflash the unit.

HELP!

I have a problem,
I copied the 3 files included in the pdaXrom-240204.zip:
initrd.bin
tools.tar
updater.sh

to the CF in my sl-c700
I followed the instructions in the Documentation part in the www.pdaxrom.org:

remove the battery for 5 secs
plug in the Ac power
press and hold  the Ok button
turn on the power button
see the japanese service menu
select option 4 (flash update)
select option 2 (CF)
I get a japanese warning screen
I choose Y
the machine reboots
THe instruction says that you have to choose  option 5 \"flash repartition\", but the option 5 in my sl-c700 have \"NAND Flash Resize\" ( I select this 5 anyway).
a screen appears asking me the new root partition size in MB (25 default) the instructions in cacko site says that 30 for the sl-c700/750 so I enter 30 and press enter.
the machine seems to reboot
then a little pinguin appears on the scrren upper left corner  and a prompt (init-2.05b#) appears too.
I don\'t have x window I don\'t have a great deals of commands, I can\'t do anything..

u might want to actually flash the rom, from your info above it seems you may not have actually flashed after resizing the nand..

can you get back to the service menu? You can always reflash if you can get back to this!! If you can\'t then it gets scary!

What did you set your NAND size? Which Z do you have? A little more info is required for better help. I had the same happen no big deal, just resized to a smaller NAND size, reflashed and then got to the login.

i dont think he flashed the unit, i think he just resized the nand. Try option 1 on the rom install menu..
