that's a hard one to answer.  I don't know that particular package as I use kopi's built in alarm as my alarm clock.  The ways you can figure this out, is to open a console and go commandline (check permissions and manual ipkg install).  The first one is to go to the directory and try to install it manually.  This will also fail if permissions are wrong.

Code: [Select]
cd /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_FIles
Code: [Select]
ipkg install

Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi are the best parts of Cacko ROM I would say.
Ok the names kind of don't mean anything at first - but it refers to

KOrganisaer / Pi (Pi = platform independant or something like that) and Ka/Pi is KAddressbook.

So one is a Calendar and one is an addressbook. The advantage over Sharp Calendar and Addressbook - is that it is an integrated package - so you can link contacts from addressbook into your calendar events, see Calendar by various formats whcih Sharp calendar does not to - has a Todo , Agenda built into Calendar, has a notify icon (task bar iconkind of) to show whats next evets etc etc and I could go on and on.
Theres a whole thread on Ko applications in the applications or software thread .

And of course Ko/Pi comes with an alarm clock KAlarm or something like that.

Integration is the name of the Korganiser game.

Ok, so does one install all these or specific ones?

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=125892

and will they install using the Add/Remove programs in the menu?

I mainly want a good addressbook and alarm.

no.  You want the kde pim suite

make sure you get the sharp rom version

You will have to unzip it via commandline

Code: [Select]
unzip kdepim_2.2.7_for_SharpRom.ipk.zip
then you can install using the gui menu

Sorry, could have been wrong impression of mine.
Having switched betweek Cacko Lite and Cacko and of course building up the Apps on Lite, I lost tract of what comes with what ...

I dont know if this link still works (blocked from work)
but this Package listing has all the feeds for all applications for the Cacko ROM.

Great place to get everything (or most) from one repository.

BTW I guess you can unzip it via winzip and then transfer the files over.

I've got KA/PI and KO/PI installed.  I definately like the Addressbook.  Not sure I like the organizer feature.  I can't seem to find the Alarm?

Also, I still can't figure out why Portabase is showing the Internal Flash and SD card icons?  There is no fields for anything database related ?

It looks like the Files menu...

It doesn't look like this:
