00:09.00aTypicalHello
00:09.21netsplitHi aTypical.
00:09.47aTypicalHi, netsplit.  How's it going?
00:15.38netsplitFine, thanks and with you?
00:27.30tanqugh.. has anyone else had any problems with ipkg
00:27.42tanqfrom 3.5.1 for the 5600
00:30.46aTypicalSorry, tanq.  I've never owned a 5600.
00:31.28aTypicalnetsplit, I've just installed Fedora Core 3 and want to sync to it.  I was hoping someone else had already done it and could walk me through it.
00:38.34tanqhmmm
00:40.46netsplitHaven't you been asking about sync'ing with Linux for a long time? ... guess still no answers :/
00:41.52aTypicalnetsplit, yes and no.  I had Fedora Core 2 which I understand was not a problem syncing with.  I then read that Core 3 was coming out so I figured I'd wait instead of messing with it.

00:47.27orangeyhey guys!
00:47.47orangeyif I wish to get a zaurus in ~ 5 - 6 months, can I count on a 6000 or 5600 to run oz by then?
00:48.14kergoththey can both run oz today. only the 5600 is officially supported in a release today.
00:48.18kergothshort answer: hell yes
00:50.05orangeycool.
00:50.16orangeyI thought I read on the main site that it was to be supported in the future..
00:50.35kergoththe plan is for the 6k to be supported in 3.5.2.
00:50.44netsplitkergoth: any idea when that might come out?
00:50.53kergotha number of oz users funded the purchase of a 6k for me so i could ensure that its well supported
00:51.04kergothnetsplit: afaik the plan is for in a week or two.  mickey is the release manager
00:51.17kergothi should be able to have the 6k support relatively solid by then
00:51.18netsplitOh wow, that's nice.
00:53.35netsplitkergoth: will 3.5.2 also support flashing from SD card?
00:53.55kergothhm?
00:54.05aTypicalkergoth, when you get OZ for the 6000 I'll give you a hug. ;-)
00:54.13kergothevery zaurus but the sl5500 and sl5000d supports cf or sd
00:54.17kergothonly the 5500 is limited to cf
00:54.22netsplitkergoth: I mean flashing from it.
00:54.29kergothi know what you mean.
00:54.32kergothtahts what i'm telling you
00:54.41kergothonly the 5500 cannot flash from sd
00:54.52netsplitOh, I thought I read somewhere that I should only flash from CF, but if you say SD works, then that's great.
00:55.02kergoththe old openzaurus.org site was taken down for a reason
00:55.14kergothmost of the old content was worthless
00:55.20kergothand what wasnt worthless only applied to the 5500
00:55.46kollaI have flashed my SL5500 with SD :)
00:55.59kolla(using an adapter though, hehe)
00:56.29kergothsomeone literally hex edited the sharp updater app (that runs on the Z) to use a different crc, adn thereby be able to flash from sd
00:56.34kergothbut that was a hack, and was never supported
00:56.40kergoth(i still have it in my inbox somewhere)
00:56.47kergothfor the 5500, that is
00:56.53kollakergoth: can newer models also use SD for other than storage?
00:57.02kergothno, sdio is not supported by anything
00:57.07kollaok
00:57.12netsplitsdio?
00:58.01kergothnetsplit: sd wireless cards and the like.
00:59.39netsplitkergoth: is write-speed important in an SD card for lets say running normal apps like a browser and a PDF viewer?
00:59.54kergothhm?
01:00.00kergothwhy would write speed have to do with anything?
01:00.12kergothrunning the app just reads it off the card into ram and executes it
01:00.50netsplitOK.  Thanks kergoth.
01:00.50kollaand keeps this strange "lock" on the filesystem from which it is started.. the unix way :)

01:24.32cynthe lock isn't kept on the fs it was run from is it
01:24.35cynshould just be in /var
01:42.32kollacyn: well, you cannot remove the filesystem a program has been started from
