way to do this without being logged into the ipaq as root?
hmmm ... I quickly found that most interesting things (including ping for some reason) require root privileges anyway so I'm trying my best to over- come my unix conditioning to do most things as joe user and only sysadmin tasks as root ... (and back in the days I used to run pd as root very often when performing so why not do it now on the ipaq)
Hi,
I always use root on the iPaq too, don't think its dangerous.
Um, Guenter's editing of /etc/ipkg/pda.conf didn't work for me, so I got the packages manually.
same here - but I didn't find this too troublesome
The problem is that I install it by hand too, so I just tested it the first time .. seems to be broken now, but I will fix it with the next release.

There are two ways to get space on the iPaqs, one is to do a "slimdown" from the GPE install, the other is to install just the barebones bootstrap and add X by hand. I have just done the same this week, I can send you the list of packages I installed on top of barebone if you want to do that. "-nogui" should work directly.
Thanks to Guenter for this work. This is awesome, I'll never use my laptop again!
hehe unless you want to actually write anything, or watch a dvd or ...
:) the real drawback is that it is hard to hide behind the PDA during concerts ...
