03:36.27Zeroth404I noticed that the ram on my Collie is mounted as tmpfs... does that mean if I reboot it, it will all be erased?
03:36.47Zeroth404because I've installed a bunch of packaged to ram (not enough space on root)
03:36.54Zero_Chaoscorrect
03:37.02Zeroth404damn
03:37.14Zero_Chaoshighly recommended to pivot root to SD for the collie, direction should be obvious on the wiki
03:37.48Zeroth404seems ideal would be to just keep root on the flash, and install extra packages on an SD/CF, no?
03:38.31Zero_ChaosZeroth404: um, no.  here is what you want, Base (mostly un)usable system in flash, real root filesystem on SD using altboot.
03:39.01Zero_ChaosZeroth404: here is why, when you don't install stuff into /, you need to symlink it so it can be found, and symlinks are 4kb each, which fills that little flash very fast
03:39.28Zero_Chaosplus, if you write to your SD card too many times you may have to buy a new now, but if you write to your flash too many times... bye bye Collie
03:40.32Zeroth404how is it that this fascinating wonderful technology could be so fragile, eh?
03:45.18Zeroth404"Warning: these instructions are unclear, especially on what kernel to use. They will leave you with a non booting system if you use the 3.5.4.2-rc2 zimage and initrd from hentges as instructed(?). 3.5.4 kernels do work."
03:45.21Zeroth404that's reassuring
03:45.21Zero_Chaosyou only get a few 1000 writes to flash.
03:45.38Zero_ChaosZeroth404: you may wish to check out Angstrom ;-)
03:45.48Zeroth404I'm watching Anstrom like a hawk
03:45.52Zeroth404does not suport collie atm
03:46.01Zeroth404and opie requires lots of work to compile
03:46.21Zero_Chaosindeed
03:48.10xjqianyeah, opie carries a lot of historical burden, both in itself and user-space programs
03:49.30xjqianbut with some effort, it could  still be a very viable desktop env for my Z
03:49.58Zeroth404I tried GPE once upon a time. thought it was crap (no offense to the developers, of course)
03:52.36CoreDumpGPE begins to shine on 640x480
03:52.44CoreDumpnot on collies QVGA
03:52.46Zero_Chaosagreed
03:52.53Zero_ChaosQVGA GPE == puke
03:53.03Zero_ChaosOpie shines on QVGA
03:53.19xjqianGPE still has quite a few bugs
03:53.36Zeroth404"Note that when installing new software, you should NOT choose sd as the destination. " <-- why is that?
03:53.43xjqianbut considering it's age compared to opie, this is understandable
03:54.09Zero_ChaosZeroth404: because you pivoted root to SD so you should install to root
03:54.23Zeroth404but... it's the same thing?
03:54.52CoreDumpin that case yes
03:54.55Zero_Chaosno, installing to SD installs to the sd mount point and makes a symlink to root
03:55.03Zeroth404ah
03:56.34Zeroth404the link to the "rootfs tarballs (*-rootfs.tar.gz)" is dead.
03:57.00Zero_Chaosyeah, that one I can't help you, dig around
03:57.11Zero_Chaossorry, if my collie was not stolen I would know more.
03:57.21CoreDumpZeroth404: url?
03:57.30Zeroth404http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4.2-test/rc2 <-- dead
03:57.47Zeroth404and theres nothing about collie in parent dirs
03:58.53CoreDumphmm, I didn't mirror the test stuff
03:59.40Zeroth404I would prefer 3.5.4 anyway, as that is known to be stable on collie
03:59.53CoreDumphttp://mirror.hentges.net/www.openzaurus.org/
04:00.05Zero_ChaosZeroth404: I agree, until angstrom supports collie
04:00.37Zeroth404I guess http://mirror.hentges.net/www.openzaurus.org/3.5.4/images/collie/tarballs/ is what I'm after?
04:01.42CoreDumpfor SD installation? yes. But you'll have to flash an updated .jffs2 image + kernel as well
04:02.10Zeroth404I've already flashed 3.5.4 with opie
04:02.17CoreDumpnp then
