Familiar Bleeding (v0.4 alpha) Installation Notes ------------------------------------------------- Author(s): Alexander Guy David Woodhouse Last Updated: Tue May 8 12:47:12 PDT 2001 [Installing Familiar] 1. Make sure you have a recent bootldr installed. 2. 'load kernel', send the zImage 3. 'eflash 0x100000 0x1f00000' to erase the end of the flash 4. 'load flash 0x100000', send the task-bootstrap.jffs2 image 5. 'set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock3 init=/linuxrc console=ttySA0"' 6. 'params save' 7. 'boot' At this point you'll be in a bootstrap environment, in which you can use PCMCIA and ipkg to get things moving along. This image pretty much requires that the iPAQ is on the network, in order to add anything to it (like X). [Post Install Procedure] To get your iPAQ up to a fully running X environment, we've provided the meta ``task-familiar-complete'' package. It depends on all the right packages to get a full feature-set installed. To finish off the installation, try something like the following: 1. ipkg update 2. ipkg upgrade 3. ipkg install ntpdate 4. ipkg install wget 5. cd /root && sh postinst 6. ipkg install task-familiar-complete The current postinstall are in the process of being moved to an outboard package for easier modularity.
