Great job, pronuke!
As an another Linux dummy, great thanks to your contribution!
One question, though -
Isn't it a typo?

Shouldn't it be like that-

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

El Camino & godd,

Thanks for the thorough scrub of the instructions. I am working to fix my typos now.

I'll try to answer all I can here:

Post 119: Choose "MMC card, partition 2, ext2" to boot to SD card.
Post 120: You are correct; the lines should be:

# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar.bz2
# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/SUP.tar.bz2 /SUP.tar.bz2
(lines above edited to fix typo)

Post 122: You are correct; to format partition 1 use:

mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

I am NOT an expert on this, so use my advice at your own risk. But heck, what's the worse that can happen, right?!:eek:

Since the OS boots from the second partition, if it was me I would try the following combination to yield ~ 6 GB on the FAT32 partition (for access to files later) and ~2 GB for the boot partition, KDE, applications, etc ...

/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,180000,6 (this is a ~6 GB FAT32 partition)
/dev/mmcblk0p2:180001,, (this is a ~2 GB Linux_83 partition)

(edited this to correct my poor math ~ 2 hrs after original post)

Anyone have expereince with this specific situation?

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Pronuke any idea why I get a error when I type in "# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar/bz2 and I get mv: connot rename '/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2': No such file or directory

Thanks for your help.

1. Back to the Zaurus
2. Begging for an ASUS EEEPC
3. "Yes dear, the Nokia is still working fine... I use it every day, really"

What the heck, the wife is at bellydance class 'til 9 tonite, might as well give this a whirl.

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

My post was all screwed up. I fixed it - go back and take a look at it now. I also fixed the html version.

Sorry...my mistake! I hope it didn't cause you too much wasted time! That's what I get for doing too many things at once!

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

ok thanks will try it when I get home. So should it be like this? mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 .KDE358.tar/bz2 sorry for all these questions first Nokia N800 and don't know to much about how this works.

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Pronuke is this correct from your instructions?
# cd /
# /tar-temp/bin/tar jxvf KDE358.tar.bz2 (takes ~30 minutes)
# /tar-temp/bin/tar jxvf SUP.tgz (takes ~15 minutes)

When I type the first one I get a error that says.
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Child returned status 2
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

anyone know what to do? Yet so close to finishing this up. Thanks again.

Ok I ran this "apt-get install bzip2" and now its loading up. :)

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Got everything loaded Thanks Pronuke for your help. Is there a way to speed this up. Also is there a way to install Adobe Flash Player I downloaded it but don't know how to install it. Just started to use this N800 1 week and half ago. Thanks.
