The guy I bought the 5600 from is still looking for the SD card he had (I've only had the Zaurus a week) and he just finished moving, so when he finds it, I'll put larger apps there.
Is there anything available similar to apt-get that will automatically fill dependencies when installing from a feed or some similar source? I'm tired of reflashing/wiping each time an install goes awry due to dependency issues. I'm trying to keep crap from being left behind scattered through my filesystem...

if you use ipkg from the command line, it will use the feed to automagically fix dependencies for you. Of course your Zaurus needs to be on-line to do that

That's really good to know.. Now if only I could get WPA working.. It's LISTED as a feature, but you got me on where that feature is. The 'Encryption' fields in the Network Settings are for WEP only, apparantly. And I'm sure as hell not going to step down to WEP from WPA. :-p

And my damn sig is STILL showing. wth...

That leads me to http://wiki.openzaurus.org/HowTos/roaming_..._wpa_supplicant  which has this rather ominous foot note:

"I just tested this on my collie with with wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 and it makes anything wireless-related segfault. Switching the config back and rebooting fixes it. Can someone else do further testing to make sure it isnt just my particular hardware?"

Is this on every 5600? Or have people actually gotten this to work? I don't feel like spending an hour or two on this only to have to undo everything I've changed. Just trying to avoid unnecessary work.
