Updating to newer X11-ROM: Problem/Question
« on: December 15, 2003, 06:11:24 am »
Hi,

I wanted to update to the newer ROM (c7x0-x11rom-2029131203.zip) which is supposed to swap the ,/ key. It did not change. So maybe I made an error and somebody can help me.

I flashed as described in the Documentation; since I have a c760 I went through the complete process. The only thing I did *not* do was \"erasing user data\" which appears in the menue after the ROM flashed. (Since I wanted to keep my stuff). So, my question now is: Do I have to erase that to have the ROM-Update to work as expected? I\'d prefer to keep my data and installed programs.

Thanks a lot

hi

extract from /root/.home_default.tar file /home/etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
and replace old file in /etc/X11/kb/

Cool. Are the various fixes described for ipkg / package management also \"installable\" in such a way? I feel they are not installed, too, when keeping user space stuff.

packager binary in RO base , and if you have symlink in /usr/local/qt/bin to RO, that will work right :-)

Have you thought about implementing some sort of apt-get functionality and repository?

for use debian packages?
that not good idea because debian packages include man,doc files, which will eat space on Zaurus storage. Better rebuild all need packages in ipks.
But , maybe later, will add apt-get in packages too
