Hey MAS,

Thanks for the link, I had not heard of TinyCore. Looks like a tight implementation, but not immediately applicable to the Z2. Would take a bit of trimming down, as TinyCore freaks out with less than 48mb real ram, and the Z2 only has 32.

Dillo is running well on the Z2 now, and is included by default on the debian image released. I’ve also been using konqueror and netsurf with success. Thanks for the info!

Has anyone considered TinyCore?

The Dillo browser also looks interesting:

Speaking of the DS I got the 1st version which I prefer slightly more anyways for $10 & that was 3 years ago. A 13 year old kid sold it to me at a yard sale, Adapter, Stylus good battery, everything! He also sold me Rayman for $5 Back then I think Gamestop was selling them in the $80 – $90 range. His mom was there too, I was just kind of shocked, Even more so when I found out it worked perfect.

I saw this on hackaday, Happy I ran across it. I didn’t even know these things existed, My brother who is studying computer science at Georgia Tech was looking for a low cost arm laptop to tinker with. So I’m defintly letting him know about this, I might get to play with it too until I pickup one

Ya we’ve been talking about it for a while, check the comments on the later z2 posts I’ve written, a couple of people have gotten the regular angstrom repositories to work, hopefully that’ll point you in the right direction.

Has anyone given any thought as to setting up an ipkg repository for this device?
