The CardFS builds are fantastic!  They fixed my Package Manager problem as well as a couple of other problems.  Thanks, coredump!

A bug in the City time (Settings)
That program suppost to show the citiy time around the world but it end up showing the clock time (the Zi's clock).
Like if I click @ the Tokyo time, it has the same time as my clock, as well as the time in New York.

But Ppl rarely use City time anyway.

@pumo:

I had the same error here and I am using the 56-8 image. I removed xmms and installed the version from the feed (or are they the same?).

When I installed xmms to the sd-card I get some errors about symlinks which can't be created, so I installed it into the root.

Xmms works for me now 

edit:
It worked, I did have older xmms packege in SD card  


But I can't get install konquer, errors pcre > 4..4  or something like that...

Actually Citytime is innocent  
Installing the "timezone" package should fix your problems

Hi, I have a 5500 and installed the hentgens rom, the following things don't work for me
-msn with gaim despite the softlink trick mentioned
-mediaplayer v2 , I get a sigbus when I try to play a mp3 with it, xmms works great, although I had to remove /tmp/xmms_0 or something because it would immediatly exit, before it worked ok ?
-but my biggest issue is that 98 out of 100 times the device won't resume when I hold the on/cancel button?

I installed your service pack as well, also did the ipkg-link mount /mnt/card thing.

Anymore suggestions?

Dunno about xmms or omp2, I don't use them.
Remove opie-wirelessapplet if it is installed and see if it helps
with your resume problems

Yeah, I've raised this as a bug a couple of times, while Timezones is in the base feed it is not built into the initrd.bin file (it was in 3.3.6pre1, but not since), which effectively breaks PIM.

Hey Again Coredump

- I installed RC7 on the Z as soon as you'd posted, a great build and it fixes my wireless problem. I was able to see my access point, and now that its set its coming up everytime (including 64bit wep).

I've been able to install several applications from the opie feed, wireless webbrowse, can chat on icq and irc accounts, MSN doesn't want to connect at all, and there is no error message ?

I'm also dangerously running out of space on /root (down to 192bytes) - does the 64-0 script work to copy my /root and /opt to my sd card? ( I don't know how it works)...

Konquerer installed, it did complain about the qreo (?) problem >4 that people are seeming to have, but I installed it and an icon showed up when i did a force dependancy.

xmms seems to work, it won't play a URL (or i havn't got it to yet) and I need to install ftp or samba so I can get some files over to it for local testing.

sooooo... can you give me a hint on :
A: what to free up on my Z /root for space or hints on how to get to 64/0
B: the trick with MSN - does this version of msn work?

Coredump - you da best   '

A: what to free up on my Z /root for space or hints on how to get to 64/0

Well, there is a nice solution in the rom, but it is very beta. It works fine for me. But better do it just after flash.
Ok. from after flash:
1) start filemanager
2) go to /etc
3) turn the option show hidden files in the filemanager on
4) delete the file mvroot_done in the /etc directory
5) reboot
6) answer the question with ok

Note: This feature ist just available in the cardfs rom from hentges, metioned above

B: the trick with MSN - does this version of msn work?

This seems to be a bug in gaim

Cheers,
Sam

Thats a great tip Teletubbie,

And.. being the brash - non caring guy that I am, I did it without reflashing

The Z seems to have moved the directories, i'm up to 276kb of free space now, and, oddly I have 3 entries in system info/storage for the sd card.

Too bad Gaim doesn't work properly, is there a workaround at all? could we maybe use msn2go as a java applete?

Now.. samba.. time to hack away at that for a bit.....

Cheers,

[Onetrack]

Haha..

uhm..
hahaha.....

damnit.. ok..

It worked.. for a little while anyways..

I tried to add a couple new packages and the symlinks wouldn't work properly.. then.. well.. it kinda started to fall apart..

needless to say.. its being reflashed

My bad..

Absolutely brilliant!

Small thing, typo on the how-to.  It says cardfs_installer.sh when it's actually cardfs_install.sh.  

I'm a bit fuzzy about all of this, but if I installed a browser (say, links for example) wanted to create a cardfs image, I'd just tar and gzip the dirs on my sd card and name it cardfs-??.bin?
