I had local copies of these files so I updated the ZUG downloads area:

you can also get the apps for the hybrid 1.6.2 rom here:

hope this helps

Thanks!

I have already have the 64-0 one , but this seems to leave you  with no Ram to use for programs.

They were also producing a 32-30 one as well. Do you know if they ever did? It was mentioned on their website but when I tried to download it , they were operating the new website

Sorry, the 32/30 version has never been released. If you\'re very interested I have a beta kernel with such layout, which you can use with existing inird.bin file. But there is a bug in Qtopia 1.6.2 Package Manager - it does not display the RAM disk as a target for installing packages, so if you want to install into RAM, you\'ll have to do it from the console.

If you want, I can send this kernel to you.

Thank you - that would be very helpful. Could you send it to me via nigel.bamber@DELETETHISxlwi.com.

Excuse my ignorance but is the Kernel the same as the zImage file ?

I am only used to flashing ROMs using the conventional basis (pressing C&D,reset button  etc .............). I think that you are implying that that method wouldn\'t work?



Thanks for your help.

OK, I\'ve sent you the kernel. Yes, it is the zImage file. To install it - just put it on CF card and follow the usual procedure...

Ah - I think I understand now. You mean that you cannot use the standard \'Software\' icon on the Zaurus to install IPK files but use \'ipkg install\' as a command within the Konsole application?

You can, but only to install into root jffs partition and SD/CF cards.

Kernel not yet received. Have you sent it ? Its possibly been zapped by the IT police. Might be best to Zip it first ?

Thanks
