Hi, I just installed zubuntu 2.0 on my spitz: I put it on an SD card because I want to dual boot with the Sharp ROM. I seem to have a number of problems though.
1. I put a Sharp zImage.bin in a spare ext2 partition on the SD, along with a cmdline and nfo file but the kexec booter does not see it at all; it doesn't appear as an option in the boot menu. How can I get kexec to see it ?
2. When starting up from a shutdown it appears that kexec spends a long time looking at the second NAND partition before deciding it is not bootable. Is there any way I can get it to skip this bit ?
3. I don't seem to be the only one to get caught out by kexec resetting the device date to 1970. I don't understand why it needs to do this. The trick is to make sure the AC adaptor is disconnected because boot using battery power only causes fsck to be skipped. @cortez, you might like to add a note about that.
4. There are no battery monitor aps etc for LXDE status bar although some empty directories in the fs - work in progress or something missing ?
5. Stylus calibration seems to be very poor, especially at the edges of the screen. I tried recalibrating many times but I couldn't improve the accuracy.
6. Very, very slow. I added a 100 MB swap partition on the SD and it's faster but a bit too slow still.
7. Fennec = unusably slow.
8. Font settings need to be made larger and menu key set up definitely needed for X (especially if you forget to calibrate the stylus like me).
9. >800 MB for base install seems high... I would rather delete Fennec, add scim, anthy, zbedic, mplayer, some inkscape-like drawing program, etc. and aim for 500 MB if at all possible.
10. It seemed sensible to create a local user but every time I login I get asked to change my password.
OK, that's all for now
