You’re already joined and helping . If you’re going to use fluxbox from the Z2 remotely, I’d suggest vnc or X0rfb protocols. They are pretty low overhead considering the size of the framebuffer.

There should be a howto on how to properly set language and file permissions and package repos. I know a few people took the information from comments threads etc and posted them up to their own Z2 linux overview sites. If the info isn’t on the sourceforge wiki you could help all out by reposting it there. In my opinion the best way to help the community is to get the shared knowledge into sourceforge and off of personal pages (I’m as guilty as anyone in this respect).

I’m sure many would be interested in your debian image, especially if you included some extra useful programs. Previous images tend to be sparse (for good reason), but there’s always room for a phat ole image full of fun stuff. Good Luck!

I’m using aliosa’s debian image but it lacks working z2mouseemu, wpasupplicant; I know how to install them but I’ll be better if they were already in the image.

I can happily release my debian image but I’d like it to be the most up to date based on all the zipit hacking community knowledge.

I get errors when apt-getting some packages, man-db for example tells me that LANG and LC_* environment variables are not set, also how can I get man pages for al the already installed commands (like grep, ls, wget, etc) — I’m sure this is already fixed but don’t know where to look.

Since I installed sshd tweaking the zipit it’s a pleasure. I wonder if I can use ‘screen’ to export fluxbox aswell.

In summary how can I join and help

Hey Esteban,

With the debian image you can just install them from apt-get debian repositories. If you wish to do your own cross-compiling, there’s a good howto on the sourceforge wiki. Also I wrote an article a while back (I think it was the nes one??) on some of the tricky parts of the cross-compiler environment. Nowadays the sourceforge git tree should have you up and running without any real hurdles, as long as you’ve got a spare box to do the cross-compiling Good Luck!
