First of all thanks for trying this ROM, for those of us with a C series it\'s by far the best ROM IMHO

To answer your questions:

1. I have no idea how you configure konqueror to do that. All I can suggest is to WGET the file in a terminal. An example is listed below:

Code: [Select]
wget http://foxdie.timduru.org/zaurus/rfcomm.conf

2. All I can suggest is installing all apps to /mnt/card (which is the SD card), you get the option to do that when you install with qPackager.

3. There are 2 package lists, one of which we host which is a mirror of the first.

The main one is at http://www.cacko.biz/ipk_feed.php which lists all the IPK\'s and their functions, the raw feed is at http://www.cacko.biz/feed

The problem with the Cacko site is it\'s hosting is in Russia I believe so it\'s transfer rates to the UK and USA can be slow. They do their best though and we love them for it.

So to help Cacko out the ZUG hosts a mirror which you can find at http://www.zaurususergroup.com/x11feed/ which updates perhaps every 2 or so days from the main list.

I suggest you add either feed to qPackager so that when you install an application it will automatically (usually) install all dependancy modules. To do this open up a terminal and do the following:

Code: [Select]
SciTE /etc/ipkg.conf

Which will open up SciTE (a great text editor if not something better) with something similar to the following:

Code: [Select]
src cacko-unstable http://www.zaurususergroup.com/x11feed



dest root /

dest tmpinst /home/tmp/ipkg/inst


Change the url to point to whichever feed you want, making sure there is no forward slash / at the end.

As for installing to the SD card I think there\'s a specific procedure to do it in the terminal, I don\'t know as I\'ve not yet had the need to install to either a SD or CF card.

Good luck.

In the X11 ROM, the Calendar key is CTRL so pressing Calendar + C will copy things to the clipboard.

I took a further look at qPackager, the option to install to different locations is in the top right hand corner, change the / to /mnt/card to install on the SD card

The pipe is located over the L key, so pressing fn+L will give you a pipe.

No problem

To paste to a terminal you click on the text in the terminal window (anywhere will do, just make sure the caret / text cursor is where you want the paste to happen) with the middle mouse button (so that means press ctrl+2 before you click).
