download GNU tar and the bzip from my website

http://penguinbait.com/tar.gz

http://penguinbait.com/bzip2.gz

place them in your path

for example, copy or move them into /usr/bin

You may also need to link bzip2 to bunzip2

ln -s /usr/bin/bzip2 /usr/bin/bunzip2

I am not sure why the j option is not working, but following this it should?

I copied the file from memory card dos partition to ext3 partition in / copied the 2 files you told me to download to /usr/bin then did the following

Code:
/ # ln -s /usr/bin/bzip2 /usr/bin/bunzip2
/ # tar jxvf KDE356FINAL1.tar.bz2
tar: invalid option -- j
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 3:1.1.3-3.osso17) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)] ...
Could it be cause I am running OS 2007HE on Nokia 770

It's entirely possible that the busybox version of tar doesn't accept that parameter.

I got it to work but crashes when it boots up to KDE screen. I guess the 770 just cannot handle it. Ah well it was nice to think i could run KDE

dont give up so easy, you need to figure out why its crashing, it could just be a missing lib or something?

Amazing job, penguinbait!

Thanks a lot for getting something so complex as this to actually work... and work well!

KDE is now running and pretty damned functional under the 2007HE on my 770 after creating a swap file under /

I was hoping to help a bit... so I am uploading the KDE tar.bz2 to my home server right now and I'll PM you a link to it as soon as it's up.

Screenshot attached!

Hey penguin, it seems the two files are missing. Anyway to get them back online again?
And is that your car/kid/spouse/dog that the GPS is tracking?
Good ol' Flint, MI.

What two files??

The tracker was last use on my 770, I have not tried to get it working on my n800, was busy with openbox and kde.

It was initially a laptop with a sprint card, then 770 while tethered to phone and GPS.

Just been real busy lately
