01:03.51Poseidon2007I Installed the sync software in a XP box...
01:04.02Poseidon2007and Im using the craddle
01:04.18Poseidon2007now... I cant sync the PDA with the Windows box...
01:04.36Poseidon2007I have installed and re-installed several times... the software in Windows..
01:04.40Poseidon2007didnt work....
01:04.43mimecari sync with the sd card
01:04.56Poseidon2007ummmmm
01:05.06Poseidon2007u mean... u read... ur SD card from Windows...
01:05.19Poseidon2007and then u put it back to the Zaurus.. and it works ?
01:05.21mimecari use kopi for the appintments
01:05.48mimecarthere's a windows version of kopi  which can open zaurus kopi files
01:06.05*** join/#openzaurus SonicvanaJr (n=Garrett@unaffiliated/sonicvanajr)
01:06.12Poseidon2007Im very new... so dont understand much the names...
01:06.18Poseidon2007What is Kopi ?
01:06.33mimecaris a calendar app for opie
01:06.42Poseidon2007right....
01:06.59Poseidon2007so u run it in Windows.. and then COPY the data to the SD card...
01:07.12Poseidon2007after that... u place back the SD card into the Zaurus
01:07.15Poseidon2007right ?
01:07.21mimecaryes
01:07.50Poseidon2007why dont u use the craddle or WIFI or Infra-red ?
01:08.13mimecaryou can sync with wifi, i sink
01:08.19mimecarbut sd is the easier method
01:08.26Poseidon2007sure.....
01:08.31Poseidon2007now......
01:08.39mimecarinfrared is slow
01:08.47Poseidon2007yes.......
01:08.52Poseidon2007I agree
01:09.08Poseidon2007now.... how do u install software into the Zaurus ?
01:09.19Poseidon2007same story... copy it to the SD ...  ?
01:09.32mimecarhave you a wifi card ?
01:09.37Poseidon2007I have
01:09.43Poseidon2007D-Link Air
01:09.44mimecarsystem on sd ?
01:10.13Poseidon2007not sure....
01:10.31Poseidon2007I got the PDA from Internet... havent played much with it...
01:10.43Poseidon2007not sure wehre is the System  ?
01:10.49Poseidon2007System as OS ?
01:10.53mimecaryou won't have
01:11.00mimecarOS is on the internal memory
01:11.14mimecarthat memory has 1.2 MB free more or less
01:11.29mimecarif you install something, you won't have free space
01:11.59Poseidon2007right
01:12.08Poseidon2007so I install software in the SD
01:12.17mimecaryes
01:12.37Poseidon2007what did u mean with " system on sd ?  "
01:12.59mimecaryou can "move" the system to the sd card
01:13.11mimecarthen you will have the sd free space for installing apps
01:13.49Poseidon2007U mean... the root file system ?
01:14.01mimecaryes
01:14.08mimecarthere's a doc on the openzaurus wiki
01:14.10Poseidon2007cool.... gotcha
01:14.56Poseidon2007ok.......
01:15.28Poseidon2007now in general... How good is it for playing movies ?
01:15.33Poseidon2007whats ur experience ?

01:18.51dspenceki think i tried running a video a while back on my clamshell, but wasnt really impressed by the whole experience
01:18.53Poseidon2007Python is cool :-)
01:19.19dspenceki wasnt really disappointed, lets face it, the screen is small
01:19.24mimecardspencek: did you adapt the video size for the screen resolution ?
01:19.30dspencekyeah
01:19.46Poseidon2007yes... the screen is small.....
01:20.25mimecarclamshell? C1000 ?
01:20.46dspencek640x480 is something, i was using mplayer on opie, i havnt had much luck with opie media player 1 or 2, i think i read they take up a lot of memory or something...
01:20.59dspencek760
01:21.08mimecarI see videos with  a 320x480 screen
01:21.14mimecarthey look perfect
01:22.44Poseidon2007have u tried to compile the Kernel ? How long does it take ? Is it a  Linux Vanilla kernel ?
01:23.43mimecarI don't
01:25.31Poseidon2007mimecar: which kernel are u using ?
01:25.42mimecarthe kernel of OZ
01:25.56Poseidon2007ok
01:26.10Poseidon2007Have u tried... Kernel development ?
01:26.14mimecarI lost my gpe installation if I reboot :(

01:36.09*** part/#openzaurus mimecar (n=Miguel@97.Red-81-37-177.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
01:36.50Poseidon2007dspencek: do u develop with the Zaurus ?
01:37.08dspenceknot too much
01:37.27Poseidon2007whats ur experience ? What can u share ?
01:37.28dspenceki have the compilers and interpreters on it
01:37.35Poseidon2007Im new... thats why Im asking..
01:38.05dspenceklately its just so i can say i have gcc g++ perl python tcl on it incase someone tries to propose something silly in a meeting or something
01:38.48Poseidon2007developing - on - the fly ? ..... nice !!
01:39.07dspencekyeah
01:39.19dspenceki've been getting into pod/netcasts lately
01:39.24dspencekso i put those on there
01:39.48Poseidon2007yes I want do the same.... cool....
01:40.17Poseidon2007no kernel development ?
01:40.56dspenceknaa, i havnt figured out that stuff yet
01:41.09dspenceki've been trying to figure out openembedded lately
01:41.28dspencekbuilding distros and packages
01:42.37Poseidon2007whats openembedded ?
01:44.02dspencekto me its the management system that makes compiling packages and distros "easy"
01:44.33dspencekyou can probably find a better description on google or their website
01:45.35Poseidon2007okey.....
01:45.52Poseidon2007Can u have a boot loader in the Zaurus ?
01:45.58Poseidon2007for different Kernels ?
01:47.03dspencekas far as i know, there is something called altboot kinda looks like a boot loader, but is not real boot loader
01:47.20dspencekit only supports 1 kernel version
01:47.56dspenceki dont think anyone has written a real bootloader for the zaurus
01:47.58Poseidon2007okey
01:48.26Poseidon2007Network Applications..... multi-threads... have u tried any development with them ?
01:48.59dspenceki think the original sharp bootloader is always used, and altboot runs in a very stripped down environement, there is an altboot FAQ on the website with the official story
01:49.14Poseidon2007ok...
01:50.18dspenceki dont know much about multi-threads, most of my development is stuff for work, or my own little scripts to keep me from typing stuff over and over
01:51.02Poseidon2007okis....
01:51.21dspencekhave you done kernel development before?
01:51.35Poseidon2007yes.... in X86 machines...
01:51.55Poseidon2007kernel modules..
01:51.56dspencekdevice drivers?
01:52.05Poseidon2007routing protocol
01:52.13dspencekahh
01:52.27Poseidon2007research stuff
01:52.37Poseidon2007new routing protocol....
01:53.31dspencekyou should probably look into using openembedded (oe) http://www.openembedded.org
01:53.43Poseidon2007Yeahhh Im there actually...
01:53.55Poseidon2007trying to understand the whole enchilada :-P
01:55.28Poseidon2007UGLY question... I guess...
01:55.28Poseidon2007what d u think of the HP Ipaq machines ?
01:55.28dspencekcoo, hopefully they have a good tutorial on how to set it up, when i went there a few years back, i had a lot of trouble. but i found a tutorial on the angstrom distribution website on how to do it (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org)
01:55.40Poseidon2007okey.... angstrom....
01:55.50Poseidon2007Im learning a lot here... thanks !!
01:56.13dspencekits another distribution for zaurus among other things....
01:56.41dspenceki chose the zaurus over the ipaq mainly because of the keyboard at first
01:57.05dspenceki have a 5500 too, but never use it now, i cracked the screen and replaced it, but it wasnt the same
01:57.26Poseidon2007ohhh sorry to hear that...
01:57.41Poseidon2007Yeahhh keyboard is good....
01:57.58Poseidon2007Checking the Angstrom site..... interesting....
01:58.28dspencekthen i found the clamshells and fell in love with them
01:58.55dspencekjust wish they sold them in the US
02:00.02Poseidon2007ohhh the States... I miss it....
02:00.08Poseidon2007I used to live in FL...

20:03.48Poseidon2007Hello......
20:04.48mimecarhi Poseidon2007
20:07.10Poseidon2007hey...... more questions...so basically when u start using openzaurus... u delete the software the Zaurus came with.....
20:07.24Poseidon2007and u start using the applications from OpenZaurus...
20:08.15webmindyes
20:09.37Poseidon2007I believe as OpenZaurus is more up-to-date.... is worth it....
20:09.56Poseidon2007any problems u think could be with changing to OpenZaruus ?
20:10.03Poseidon2007I have SL 5500
