Ok. lets get over with it 8) After all list is all about SuSE Linux, not about Zaurus, which has in fact own forums set 8) Here is somewhat usefull piece from JavaOne docs on Zaurus and Java on Zaurus. (and there used to be room with about 12 workstation running RedHat linux and cradles to seat Zaurus) And i would strongly suggest to get new flash image, b/c one that comes with developer version of Zaurus shipped in US (other than ones that been sold on JavaOne 2002) is somewhat sucks.

To install openssh, do the following from the linux box: * open ftp connection * ftp openssh_1.2.3_arm.ipk * Then run the following command on the Zaurus: ipkg install openssh_1.2.3_arm.ipk To generate public/private keys for ssh, run the following command: * ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N '' Change root's home directory to /home/root * vi /etc/passwd * Change this line: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh to this: root:x:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh If you want to run ssh as daemon after following instructions on www.insomniq.com: * ln -s /usr/local/lib/libz* /usr/lib/libs=z.s0.1 * killall -HUP inetd Important!!! Set a root password before enabling sshd If you get an error message trying to run Java applications on the Zaurus: * QSocket::WhiteBlock:: Cannot open socket * Run the following command on your Zaurus: unset LOGNAME To run Java on your Zaurus you will use evm * evm To increase the heap for your Java application add the following option to your evm command line: * -mx2048k This will set the heap to 2MB Setting up file transfer on your Windows PC You can use the synchonization software included with your Zaurus to transfer files between your PC and your Zaurus.

I was at JavaOne where Sharp sold off all the rest of the developer versions of the Zaurus. Believe me, people were going NUTS over this device. People skipped sessions to stand in line for over an hour to get it at the discounted price. They sold off every last one. -- ========================================================= Glenn Holmer (gholmer@ameritech.net) --------------------------------------------------------- "I do like Java.
