I am going to put the bits in this thread together into one coherent howto (installation procedure for all C-series models) during the weekend.

Thanks   , this is what I miss to be able to try on my C760. Then I'll report the results !

Beta 3 has been working and stable for me for over a year now.  But this may just be the thing to get me to update my os.  Much appreciated.

Hi,

Reporting success installing on a C700    , but I'm having trouble connecting my my wireless card Dlink DCF-660W on debian. It was working while in Angstrom.  

Can somebody tell me how to configure the network card?


Thanks...

Have you installed the udev package? Also make sure that you have the correct settings in: /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf.
What does dmesg say when you plug in the card?

Wireless connection is working now !!!!       I was missing configuration lines on interfaces.

Installed titchy-desktop however the touchscreen is rotated 90 degrees. If I move the pen on "X" the cursor moves on "Y" and viceversa.  

When I ran exec /etc/init.d/xdm start I noticed that just before opening the X server the text terminal rotates 90 degrees. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the problem and how to fix it. Any ideas?


Regards....

@citro: My C860 also ran into the same problem with the stylus pointer when running of titchy-desktop (xfce4) for the first time. Just delete /etc/ts.conf and restart X to recalibrate the pointer. That works for me.

I deleted ts.conf, then did Ctrl+Alt+Del and once X restarted automatically the problem self corrected.    Thanks a lot ZDevil for all your help.


On a diffeent subject.... the zaurus-hardware-support.deb file for the debian Titchy webpage... that one is suposed to be for C3x00 right? and I think Kuro's C3x00 image that we used for C7x0/C860 on SD has them already installed. If so, would there be some hardware issues. At least I remember seeing an error message while booting about the spitz sound module not loading succesfully however I know sound doesn't work 100% on C3x00 either so I'm not sure if the error is unique to my C700. What else is different between the 3 digit (C7x0/C860) and 4 digit (C1000/C3x00) zaurus with regards to hardware and how can I get the appropiate hardware support, if really applicable?


thanks....

If you copy the /lib/modules/2.6.xx from angstrom (nand) to debian (sd) then there shouldn't be any issues.
(replace xx with the right number according to the kernel you are using, when you don't know that : use "uname -a" and it will be listed).

Hi,

I am the proud owner of a SL-C860 and a Collie , I currently run cacko roms (1.23). I would like to try some newer distros and am amazed by what you lot are up to. It seems quite complicated though and I would like to try a bit before investing time into changing distro altogether, I use my z for work quite a bit and I want it to deliver what I need fairly quickly (impatient consummer!).

So, is there a beginners guide to Angstrom or Debian on z, all I can find is stuff which seems quite hairy to me! Or, even better, is there somewhere a NAND od either these distros that I could load on my Z to give it a go?

Thanks, I realise it's a bit cheeky to ask a quick solution but I ve been googling for an hour and nothing seems quite like an A to Z to recent Z distros,

best starting place to install Debian on you Zaurus is the wiki :

https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Debian...eries_models%29

this forum is debian specific
for angstrom have a look on www.angstrom-distribution.org
