I currently have a C-1000 (Akita) with Open Zaurus 3.5.4.1 (Opie) installed on it. I have been using Open Zaurus ROMS for several years on a 5500 and a 6000, always with Opie, and apart from installing a few applications with ipkg, have not modified anything.
It's obvious if I wan to keep up-to-date that I will now have to install Angstrom, and my first attempt failed miserably. I got the basic OS going fine, but had no connectivity. There were no networking programs (ifconfig and friends) and although I could configure my network in the GUI, the WCF11 wifi card was never recognized. Everything I read on the wiki seems to be directed to people who can compile the software on a PC and then download it to the Zaurus. In short, Linux developers - which I am NOT. As I look at the installation images directory, I know that I need to use one of the jffs2 files, but there are seven of them and I can't figure out from the file names which one I need. I'm just looking for a basic installation - I don't need the PDA stuff at all - but I do need support for the WCF11 wireless card and WPS/PSK encryption (which is the stumbling block for OZ 3.5.4.1, and why I'm looking to upgrade in the first place). I'd be very grateful for some guidance here. My abilities are pretty much limited to downloading files and installing them.
