debian zaurus vnc troubles
I was able to install the debian zaurus base package on my z. I am
having difficulties with fbvnc and the vncserver though. I can start up
the server and IceWM comes up.
If I try to open a terminal, the screen flashes as if its going to open
the terminal and then closes it immediately.
Also how do I switch between X11 and Opie, If I try to logout of IceWM,
the system just hangs till i hut it off by replacing battery.
I've been able to chroot /mnt/cart/debroot and play with apt. I get an
error while trying to install ssh though. when i try to reconfigure with
dpkg --configure ssh, it goes through the same config process and dies.
I read an email [1] stating that this error (PRNG is not seeded) could
be caused by not having the 'random' device compiled into the kernel.

dpkg: error processing ssh (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
ssh
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Could not having the random device be causing this problem, or possibly
the use of chroot? (I'm running OZ3.3.6)
Has anyone had trouble with the above issues?
Any ideas on where to start with trouble shooting for answers?
