Zy.

I had the exact same problem with the IPKs before I got my CF wireless card and I was transferring files from my Windows machine to install on the Zaurus via a SD card.  If you are not already DLing the IPKs using the Zaurus itself, try that.  It\'s worked much better for me.

I gave up on Gaim and went with Kinkatta light after struggling to make Gaim work for a long period of time.

The only bad part about Kinkatta light is all the noise it makes, it\'s constantly using the buzzer and that\'s loud and frustrating.

Search for gaim on these forums (Use the search link between the FAQ and Memberlist links, not the front page search). There\'s several threads on getting it working and it does work fine without much hassle on the 5600.

There is also a general tip for any misbehaving app: Run it from the terminal and see what error messages it produces. If you don\'t know what the messages mean, search the forums and if that doesn\'t help, post the messages here and someone can give you more help.
