iPAQ tweaks
Ok, so I’ve collected a few tweaks I made to my iPAQ:
- Make the SD card mount at boot. For unknown reason, the SD card support is funky on the H39xx machines. The Familiar Release Notes covers how to do this (way down in the 0.8.0 section).
- Take advantage of the extra Flash ROM in the H39xx machines. There’s an extra 16 megs of space in these (48 megs total) that isn’t used by default. Check out this howto. I mounted it under
/usr/local. - It looks like they trimmed down the packages on 0.8.4, but in doing so a lot of stuff is missing… like nmap, gpsd and what looks to be a gaggle of others. I added the 0.8.2 base feed to my feed list and this seems to work well.
More to come, I’m sure.
