Keypebble is IMHO too slow and rather broken... By the way, I've hacked the xf4vnc server and fbvnc client to use a shared memory region for the pixmap, this completely avoids the need to push pixels through the TCP socket, and makes it as fast as a local (unaccelerated) X server. I have zero time to work on it, but I can post the patches here if anyone is interested. > Second, is there any reason to use chroot instead of pivot_root?

I am running a pivot_root setup on my C750, the files I used are in http://pocketworkstation.org/files/c700-kernel/romupdate-native-debian-2003-03-20.zip The init script (called instead of /sbin/init from the kernel) is appended. It took me some head scratching to figure out how to do a read with timeout in plain /bin/sh :-) > Third, I think I'm missing something obvious with the wireless networking. > I am fine using my Zonet card under qpe and it shows up under "cardctl > status" in debian but I can't convince it to take an IP. > # ifconfig 192.168.0.103 > 192.168.0.103: error fetching interface information: Device not found > # Wireless configuration is a bit of a mess, with the incompatible wlan and wlanng drivers and tools. I don't understand it myself so I can't help you there :-( -Klaus
