Thanks, it works for me too. I'm using the second method on a 1gb card.
Though I couldn't find a source to download a firefox-armel binary. Did you compile it? I don't really want to set up another cross compiling environment on my linux box, and it would possibly take half a day if I tried to compile it on the n800/chroot. Anyway, great idea. (btw, there's a rdesktop port on the IT2006 app catalog page, though it doesn't have vkb or anything - you just have to use the accessibility options of the remote system) Best regards, Kemal On 2/21/07, Detlef Schmicker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hay Neil, I only want to stress one advantage of option #1. This would install about 7MBytes, where as option #2 and #3 will be about 100MBytes or more. This would be a reason to keep option #1 in mind, e.g. for a quick "port" of rdesktop, an application many users request... But personally I prefer option #3. But you need a big internal SD-flash.
