Fix perms on card so you can write to the card from GUI apps.

if that doesn't work try this:
chown -R zaurus.qpe /mnt/card

| install SSH - LINK |
The readme has great step by step install instructions
Copy tar file to SD card from computer
tar -xzf openssh-3.1p1-arm-linux-3.tar.gz
cd openssh-3.1p1
./install.sh s f
S for SD card F for full
no pass codes on keys
left root the same - if you put a public IP on your zaurus you
should use a strong root password |
| install pico - LINK |
copy the pico bin to the /mnt/card/bin make if needed
ln –s /mnt/card/bin/pico /usr/bin/pico – create symlink to pico
chmod 667 /mnt/card/bin/pine |

pico /etc/passwd to change default root shell from sh to bash |
| installed Ambicom wireless card |
Created a network profile using network under Settings - No

| install kismet to SD (not main like the installer insists) |
See Kismet page
|
| Kismet_qt – GUI program install to SD - Another program that
did not want to install to the Card |
See Kismet Page |
| Added a 32 swap file to SD card - I am not sure this is a great
idea but I wanted to try it anyway. May cause premature failure of
your SD card. |
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/root/swapfile bs=1024 count=32768
mkswap /home/root/swapfile
swapon /home/root/swapfile
Add the swap to the startup scripts
Add "swapon /home/root/swapfile" to the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
cd /etc/rc.d/rc5
ln -s ../rc.local S49local |
| Syslogs - If you know how to get the zaurus to keep better
syslogs please email me |
|
| wlanmon – GUI program install to SD - LINK |
Another program that would only install to main, I also had
problems getting winzip to extract the files from IPK file, so I
installed the program to main memory copied all the files to the
SD card, uninstalled the app and then set up everything by hand.
Place bin file in /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/bin
Place png file in /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/Pics
Chmod 777 the bin file
Create symlink from /home/QtPalmtop/bin to /var/mnt/card/QtPalmtop/bin for wlanmon
ln -s /var/mnt/card/QtPalmtop/pics/wlanmon.png /home/QtPalmtop/pics/wlanmon.png
this creates a symlink for icon file
copy wlanmon.desktop file to /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications |
| Change Screen saver |
1. create /home/QtPalmtop/pics/Zaurus_logo.png - File should be
100 x 100
2. add 'ScreensaverImage = /home/QtPalmtop/pics/Zaurus_logo.png' entry to /home/zaurus/Settings/qpe.conf (anywhere under '[Screensaver]' section)
thanks gervin - Devnet
