Re: [Angstrom-devel] SL-C3000 Howto
Marcin was spot on, I'd used the minimalist image, not the console image. In my desire to get the latest updates to test out, I'd downloaded from the spitz/20071024 folder and flashed with that. There are only minimalist images in there with modules as a separate download. Hence I'd had to hack about a bit to get modules into the minimalist image to get a working release. I'd also had to hack in the ipkg-cl file and softlink that, and add in libipkg before I could run a successful update and bring down GPE. (oh, and create resolv.conf, but that's a bit obvious). So now I have 2007.9-test-20071024 running on my Spitz fine. Just need to start reading about Bitbake now as I'd really love to try getting Evolution running before anything else, or some decent PIM package that will sync with EGW. That way I can use the Zau and just sync it before I try anything new! :) Ian On 25/11/2007, Justin Patrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Nov 25, 2007 7:11 AM, Ian Bonham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In putting the latest 20071024 install kit on my SL-C3000, I noticed the > > Howto for installation is quite out of date. > > I dropped the files onto an SD, then had to unpack hdimage1.tgz and > > modules-2.6.23-spitz.tgz and put the unpacked modules manually into /lib > in > > the hdimage.

I'm without permanent inet these weeks (months?), and this week even w/o much inet at all ;-(. Still, I hope that stuff will get going. As long as it is not somebody's personal firefighting and not multi-vector competing efforts (we don't seem to have any of these), and we're aim-oriented, it should be ok. > regards, > Koen > [1] We can add additional machines and images later on when possible > [2] send a mail to angstrom-distro-coreteam if you want access to the > website > [3] > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-devel/2007-April/000194.html > [4] I'd like to delay the support of opie to after the release to avoid > having another set of problems for the release; see remark [1] Yep, no talk about OPIE images release - there're not even enough test images for different machines, but still I'd like to keep matter going. So, if there're any organizational issues with setting up OPIE feeds (of the same status as images - "unsupported"), I'd like to know them, otherwise, I'm going to post RFC for specific server/HTTP location when time permits. -- Best regards, Paulmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel

It depends on noone else but people interested in OPIE themselves. Since all recent talks about OPIE, I still see no new images in http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/unsupported-images/ . So, why ask for something which doesn't have presuppositions for ready? Paul, I saw commits from your name in OE, so I assume you have commit access. Why not start building and uploading images now? Pointing finger at myself, with all the lacking Internet I have, I'm working on other issues, like crating an installation process suitable for mere user to pursue, and fixing what is official Angstrom GUI framework now. > Cheers, > Paul -- Best regards, Paulmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel

Thanks for getting this started. > 1) make a list of machines we can support *now*[1] I'm in posession of * SL-5500 * SL-5600 * SL-C750 * SL-C3200 I will reserve as much of one full day as necessary for testing images on these models (probably Friday or Saturday though).

Re: [Angstrom-devel] Preparing for the release
I have an OSK (and a mistral display for it). I can test the console images, I'm having trouble flashing the X11 images due to some size issues.

Well at the moment that is not the case - I can only assume that they were just put under my name in the changelog since (to my knowledge anyway) I do not have an account. Right now I must rely upon yourself, Michael (Krelin) and recently Marcin to commit changes for me. > Why not start building and uploading images now? > Pointing finger at myself, with all the lacking Internet I have, I'm > working on other issues, like crating an installation process suitable > for mere user to pursue, and fixing what is official Angstrom GUI > framework now. OK. I guess I was waiting for the official Angstrom Opie maintainers to do these things, but if you are asking me to do them then I am happy to do so provided I have all the tools.
