| 11:03:09 | mark_ | hi all. I'd like to create a backup of my root file system so if I muck it up again I can just upload it to the bootloader. How do I create a .jffs2 file from my /? |

| 15:43:04 | GB1 | is my ipaq supposed to be just showing me a picture of a penguin after first boot? |
| 15:43:30 | mpakula | GB1: yup |
| 15:43:50 | mpakula | now you have to load root image |
| 15:46:53 | GB1 | i tried that using hyperterminal by typing boot? and it scrolled in the hyperterminal window as if it was booting |
| 15:47:27 | GB1 | is that correct? but now I cant seem to get it to update packages from familiar am i missing something? |
| 15:48:21 | mpakula | I assume you did boot>load root and sent image to ipaq, right? |
| 15:48:51 | mpakula | can you login ? |
| 15:49:11 | GB1 | ? |
| 15:49:23 | GB1 | i could login through hyperterminal |
| 15:49:44 | mpakula | cool do you have eth0 working |
| 15:50:33 | mpakula | do you have some sort of ethernet connection from your ipaq to the rest of the world ? |
| 15:51:00 | GB1 | no only serial dont have an ethernet card for it |
| 15:51:32 | mpakula | ok so you cannot do much now |
| 15:51:54 | GB1 | nope |
| 15:52:15 | GB1 | can i not get it do access the internet via the serial link with my computer? |
| 15:53:14 | mpakula | GB1: you can just follow the wiki page and if you have 36xx or higher it works fine AFAIK |
| 15:54:53 | GB1 | i have been trying but it doesnt seam to be working for me? |
| 15:55:55 | mpakula | GB1: drop by #handhelds.org |
| 15:56:27 | GB1 | ok |

| 16:40:47 | GB1 | does anyone have any help on setting up the ppp and the handheld and a win 2k machine |
| 16:41:06 | GB1 | i have tired folowing the instructions but seam to be lost? |
| 17:09:45 | GB1 | how do i delete entires from a file i would use vi but that doesnot exist? |
| 17:10:06 | ethan | ipkg install vim |
| 17:10:48 | Jacmet | or if it's just a single line then use grep -v (then you don't need to upload the vim .ipk with zmodem |
| 17:11:20 | ethan | I am lucky enough to have wireless nic, it makes things quite easy |
| 17:11:31 | Jacmet | ethan: yes ;) |
| 17:11:57 | ethan | i just got my dual sled too and am configuring the 2 gig microdrive |
| 17:12:20 | ethan | now to see if I can get some build tools on here |
| 17:12:42 | Jacmet | has been waiting for 3 weeks for his ipaq accessories :( |
| 17:12:53 | ethan | i ahve had awesome response from them |
| 17:13:02 | ethan | I just ordered the sled shipping ground last week |
| 17:13:17 | ethan | the tech support and repairs are excellent too |
| 17:13:32 | GB1 | i cant get ipkg working yet |
| 17:13:41 | Jacmet | well, this shop in belgium that I ordered through is _slow_ :( |
| 17:13:59 | ethan | jacmet: ahh being in the US helps I guess kinda like the wireless nic |
| 17:14:20 | Jacmet | ethan: which card do you have? the compaq one? |
| 17:14:29 | ethan | nope I am using the linksys wpc11 |
| 17:14:37 | ethan | right now with orinoco drivers |
| 17:14:49 | ethan | I don't have drivers for wlan-ng under 2.4.17-rmk4 |
| 17:14:50 | Jacmet | the CF one? |
| 17:14:53 | ethan | nope pcmcia |
| 17:15:03 | Jacmet | ok, the CF one looks cute |
| 17:15:08 | ethan | I had it already |
| 17:15:28 | ethan | I have a pair so I can adhoc to my laptop or attach to a base station if I am near one |
| 17:15:47 | Jacmet | ok |
| 17:16:07 | ethan | the linksys are cheap and very compatible from wince-linux |
| 17:16:25 | Jacmet | ethan: great, I considered buying one myself |
| 17:16:41 | Jacmet | dinner time, afk |
| 17:16:44 | ethan | they sell starter packs with a base station for I think about 200 USD |
| 17:16:52 | ethan | two nics and a base |
| 17:18:02 | ethan | is the best bet for making a build environment instal debian, or can it be done with familiar? |
| 17:18:35 | ethan | I s'pose I would have to build a crosscompiled compiler then a native one in the environment |
| 17:22:36 | GB1 | can i download files then zmodem them to the pocketpc , how would i then ipkg? |
| 17:23:02 | ethan | you said ipkg was broke |
| 17:23:13 | ethan | In both familiar installs I have done it works out of the box |
| 17:27:35 | GB1 | ipkg cant reach the internet but i could use it in an offline mode if this works? |
| 17:28:04 | ethan | yes |
| 17:28:08 | ethan | ipkg install file.ipk |
| 17:28:17 | ethan | so if you can zmodem the file there you are all set |
