my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
get the required packages for you. If you already have the required files downloaded or don't want
to connect to the internet for installations, then you can also make apt-get install your .deb files
from a local directory. You would need to install the dpkg-dev package first.
Once that is done, make a directory such as /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs and place
all your .deb files in there. Then generate a package summary file (Packages.gz).
# mkdir -p /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs
# cp *.deb /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs
# cd /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files
# dpkg-scanpackages debs /dev/null | gzip > debs/Packages.gz
now add the following as the first entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb file:/home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files debs/
apt-get should now look for files located under /home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs when
you try to install a package. You can also comment out the other entries with a hash (#) if you
don't want apt-get to connect to the internet. Also, whenever you add new files to
/home/zaurus/Documents/Install_Files/debs you will need to re-run dpkg-scanpackages
As an alternative to running Debian under X/Qt, you can also use VNC to run Debian instead, or
even do a combination of X/Qt and VNC. The VNC and X/Qt sessions will have different settings, but
if you want them to at least share some of the icevm settings, do the following:
# su
# cd /hdd3/debroot
# ln -s home/zaurus/.icevm root/.icewm
Make sure the DEBROOT in /etc/debroot.conf is set to /hdd3/debroot
# The chroot directory for the Debian installation
DEBROOT=/hdd3/debroot
To start the VNC server, do the following:
# su
# Vncserver
Now just connect to it via a vnc client such as keypebble (see VNC section).
OpenOffice 1.1.4
Yes, OpenOffice works on the C3000 and C3100! However, you will need to install
PocketWorkstation first which also involves installing X/Qt (see other sections). Alternatively, you
can also run OpenOffice as a cramfs image with the X/Qt jumbo package without installing
PocketWorkstation (see X/Qt jumbo section for further details). The following section describes
installing OpenOffice under PocketWorkstation.
You will also need 200MB of free disk space on your PocketWorkstation disk to store the installed
OpenOffice files. In addition, you also need 78MB of space for the extracted installation binaries.
The compressed OpenOffice installation binary [OOo_SRX645_linuxarm_install.tar.gz] is 71MB in
size. If you have sufficient space, you will be able to install OpenOffice.
