Arthuregg,

Surely your desire to have more apps included out of the box highlights the general point that's been made about having a lite version with very few included apps for those people who like to choose exactly what they want to install, and a more fully-featured version that has lots built in?

Personally I would not get a lot of use out of many of the apps that you mentioned because they don't really fit with the way I use my zaurus (mainly as a mini web-server, and I don'd have anything wi-fi), so from my point of view they'd just be taking up memory and screen-space.

Horses for courses as they say (somewhere)

Allow me to share that I have prboom running on my c860 using zports SDL in landscape mode. Here are the relevant packages that I have installed:

libSDL 1.2.6-zports-5
libSDL-mixer 1.2.6-zports-0
prboom 2.2.4-zports-0
doomdemo 1.8

When first installed I had to execute from the command line and then it started working from the icon. You may want to look at your ~/.prboom/prboom.cfg to make sure the paths and settings are correct.

This is definately not a Cacko issue. Let me know if you need more info.

Hope this helps!

Compatability with the sl-6000 would be nice

simple change,

do not map fn-5 to the euro sign.

qkonsole uses fn-5 to switch between fullscreen and window mode.

I don't use the euro sign, but I would like to use the fn-5 in qkonsole.

I also have prboom working perfectly in landscape full screen. I also have VNC server + viewer working perfectly on cacko (just installed).

I don't think cacko should be filled with crap - by crap I mean non-baseline applications that some people won't use. I like the current default install of 1.21b. What i would really like to see is a proper compatible feed for cacko to cut down on searching + messing about. Also improved package manager.

Once there is a feed then people can easily install whatever they want. If you make a massive rom with uninstall options then it gets bigger and messier.

What an excellent idea. I have a repository of packages on my desktop of MANY working packages for Cacko. There is approx. 1GB of web space on my site for such a feed.

I've noticed a bug when using Opie-Reader. If the light is set to the lowest level by the little applet and I press space to start scrolling in Opie-Reader it turns the light off.

'Gave me quite a fright the first time it happened on a plane, I thought my new Z had died

I luckily noticed the picture when the screen caught the light and was able to use the short cut keys.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Opie-Reader or in the light applet though...

I didn't see this answered, so I'll ask again. What are the odds that us poor beknighted SL-5500 users will see this version?

It'd be nice to have some updated, working options for a change...

I love the idea of a cacko feed. Thats one of the nicest things about OZ at least when they were working on oz as opposed to open embedded having feeds for different versions that are known to work would be a great help I might also be able to provide a feed mirror (when my server ever gets up)

With all the talk of lite/full roms, it would be awesome to have a customizable rom. Back in the dark ages when I was using a T-mobile PocketPC phone (I know, I am ashamed ), I came across something called rom kitchen:
XDA-Developers ROM kitchen

It basically allows you to click which programs you want included in the customized ROM. It has a bar on top that tells you how much ROM space you have, etc. The scripts for it are OSS and run on linux, so it might not be that hard to modify for Cacko. It would be so sweet if each person could choose exactly which packages to include in their rom and would be nice for Maslovsky to not have to listen to "Opera suxors, use netfront!" "No netfront is lamers, opera only!"
Also, it allows people to make sure the rom uses all available space by allowing you to roll ipks you know you will use and keep into the rom (of course, makes version upgrades a pain, but still).

A "Lite" version with a package feed would be excellent.

Sorry, but very little chances. We couldn't even find anyone willing to maintain a version for 5600 and I just physicaly cannot keep up with all Zaurus models...
