Is it worth setting up a fund to get maslovsky a C3000? No idea how to go about that.

I'd be happy to chip some money in if it means we see Cacko on the 3000 soon.

Hi Maslovsky,

I agree with uczmeg....

I'd be willing to kick in a few bucks towards getting you a SL-3000 if it would help expedite getting a version of Cacko ROM for the SL-3000.

Given how much I enjoyed using the Cacko ROM on my C860 it seems reasonable to help out and reciprocate for all that Maslovsky is doing for the Z community!

So let us know if we can PayPal you to help out Maslovsky.

Thanks and much appreciation for all your fine work!!

Thank you guys! If anyone wants to support Cacko ROM development, feel free to donate  - there is a link to PayPal at the button of the temporary Cacko homepage:

http://www.my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko.html

But you need to realize that I cannot make any commitments - supporting ROM for Zaurii is not my job, I'm doing that in my spare time. Although I'm trying to do my best.

Sorry I can't pay more right now.

Cheers

Hi Maslovsky,

Well, just matched uczmeg's contribution!

So another $20 towards a SL-3000/CackoROM...

 

Thanks,

how about a gui interface for cf gprs cards??  Now that would rock!  dial up , recieve calls, etc...  That would make sidekick2 look like a sorry excuse rip off of a z.  I was told that that zaurus used to bundle cf cards and the z in hong kong with dialup software.  No luck finding anything but perhaps someone with international connections can post something, please. (please)

Today I got hold on Billionton Bluetooth CF card, so I could update bluetooth scripts to support it. Yes, this card will be supported in 1.22 Cacko ROM

Packages and making everyone happy:)

I'm new here so take this with a huge grain of salt.  Another project that I know of called pxes (pxes.sf.net) also has to deal with the problem of keeping the image small (since it runs from a ram disk and loads over a network) but also giving everyone all of their "must have" features.  What they do is to have a configuration gui that allows the user to pick what features they want and then generates a matching image.   In this case you really wouldn't even need a gui, just a bash script + a config file containing a list of packages you want to end up in the final image.  

Would a system like this work for Cacko?

Maslovsky:  OK, so I'm a little slow to adopt, but just flashed the 1.21 and Fix B onto my sacred C-860 last night and it's absolutely awesome.  Thanks so much for all your hard work.  Really the only thing I'd like to see on the next ROM is that my TKCVideo works properly.  I've got a ton of movies on 4GB Hitachi CF disks that I carry all over the place with me to watch in airplanes, trains, blah blah blah.  This thing worked perfectly with the original Sharp ROM, but is very flaky with the 1.21 Cacko.  Movies won't play in KINO either.  These are MPG's and are full versions of DVD's ripped, then converted to AVI's with DVD2AVI, then to MPG's with TMPGenc.

Other than that, which may not mean much to many folks, this thing is a genuine work of art.  I'll be donating to the "Maslovsky Fund" as well.

I would like to see the kernel boot without the SHARP logo screen so that we can see the cool penguin and linux boot text scroll by. Mostly for GEEK factor, and also because I like to see what my computer is doing, instead of a "blank" screen.

Just my two cents. Others may not agree.

P.S. I know it takes more than just taking out the kernel config setting. There is also a patch that has to be applied. I can find the link to it or post it if you don't have it already.

Movies should be playing very well under 1.22 using updated mplayer from atty.jp and new version of kino2.

Only if I have some spare time   There are much more important things to do, like improving performance of video playback and even more improved battery percentage display (yes, it's nearly perfect now!)
