[Angstrom-devel] SL-C3000 Howto

[Ian Bonham]

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!
:)
