Hi. I just subscribed to this list as I have this fairly old iPaq H5500 that I decided to give a new life to by installing Linux on it. My first attempt was to install Familiar Linux on it as this seems to be the easiest distribution to locate. I tried the image that includes Opie and it worked fairly well.
I then decided to try GPEand learned that GPE on Familiar Linux is quite outdate and that, in fact, Familiar itself is also outdated. This is what brought me to Angstrom. I am having several problems with it tough. I tried the Opie image and it installed but I could not get WiFi to work (among other problems). Then I tried the GPE (X11) image and still didn~t have much luck. Right now, I am seeing the following problems: 1 - Sometimes the touch screen does not respond to touch. 2 - WiFi is not not working (worked with Familiar). 3 - Battery seems not to be detected and when it is connected to power, it also seems to not detect that. I wonder if the problem is not the bootloader I am using (the one suggested by Familiar). Should I use a different bootloader for Angstrom? Is the fact that I am directly intalling the jff2 images to the internal flash through a serial port relevant? Thanks in advance. -Bruno _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
