Here is a rough and short introduction of setting up debian-eabi. It may help you enjoy debian on zaurus. This process is done on 1 GB SD because I already have it on the internel disk. Also check OESF link for installation and more settings.

p.s. 1) All packages except x-yonggun and cpuoverclock are repackaged with angstrom stuffs and fixed for debian (armel, exactly the kernel that I compiled).
p.s. 2) x-yonggun and cpuoverclock are repackaged from pdaXrom.
Tip)
If you have dependency problem when you install these packages, use this command:
apt-get -f installDebain will find all dependent packages and install them. The machine should be able to access the network to obtain the packages.
Basic setting
First I downloaded the following files and put them to root directory.
When you login as root, install the downloaded files:
Then you can load the keymap with this command:
Set up the wireless or usb network:
For usb networking, refer following link: http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Linux/Tips
Next let's add the followings in /etc/apt/sources.list:
Here start-stop-deamon does not work. Let's fix it.
libconsole_0.2.3dbs-65_armel.deb
console-tools_0.2.3dbs-65_armel.deb
keymap.mapWhen you login as root, install the downloaded files:
# dpkg -i *deb
Then you can load the keymap with this command:
# loadkeys keymap.map
# cp keymap.map /etc/
# echo loadkeys keymap.map >> /etc/rc.local
Set up the wireless or usb network:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid ### mode managedIn my case, ambicom card is identified as eth2 so that # iwconfig eth2 essid ### mode managed for me.
# dhclients
For usb networking, refer following link: http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Linux/Tips
Next let's add the followings in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian sid mainUpdate feed list.
deb ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian unreleased main
# apt-get update
Here start-stop-deamon does not work. Let's fix it.
# cd /sbin
# mv start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.FAKE
# mv start-stop-daemon.REAL start-stop-daemon
X-window systems
Ok, let me install X-window system. I use icewm as a default window manager.
Next, touchsceen stuff should be installed.
Here is another pacakage for X setting which has xmodmap and xinitrc. Let's install it.
Before run X, logout the system and login again. Then touchscreen setting is ok. Now we need calibration of touchscreen:
Everything is ok so far.
# apt-get install xfonts-base rxvt icewm icewm-experimental menu icewm-gnome-support xbase-clients libxft2 libfontconfig1Edit) You don't need xorg-related packages for xwindow setting. So I remove them from install pacakage list and I add icewm-related packages.
Next, touchsceen stuff should be installed.
dpkg -i *ts*deb xserver*deb
Here is another pacakage for X setting which has xmodmap and xinitrc. Let's install it.
# dpkg -i x-yonggun_0.0_armel.debIf you want to use different wm (for example, xfce4), you can replace icewm-session with startxfce4 in .xinitrc. Also I set up the mouse keys [Calendar(left), Address(middle), and Mail(right)] and brightness [fn+3 and fn+4].
Before run X, logout the system and login again. Then touchscreen setting is ok. Now we need calibration of touchscreen:
# ts_calibrate
# startx
Everything is ok so far.
Sound
Now turn my attention to sound. First you need load the sound modules.
Now, I installed some packages for sound.
If you want to listen to music using xmms,
# modprobe snd-soc-spitzAlso add this module into /etc/modules. I recommend to restart the system.
# echo snd-soc-spitz >> /etc/modules
Now, I installed some packages for sound.
apt-get install alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsa-ossLet's unmute headphone and speaker using alsamixer
If you want to listen to music using xmms,
apt-get install xmms, xmms-madYou must install xmms-mad for good sound quality.
Detailed setting
Let's download the following files and install them. ipaq-sleep functions auto suspend and auto blank screen. zaurusd controls speaker and headphone sound switching, and the screen hinge switch. These scripts are fixed for debian.
For settup usb, suspend and so on, I use the gpe-conf.
# dpkg -i ipaq-sleep*, zaurusd*, usb*But I don't like these to run on the console. So I removed them from booting scripts.
# update-rc.d -f zaurusd remove
For settup usb, suspend and so on, I use the gpe-conf.
# dpkg -i *debFor cpu overclocking, I took an application from pdaXrom and repackaged it including dvfm.
dpkg -i cpuoverclock_0.0.3-1_armel.deb
Video
We can watch the movies with debian. I watched VGA movies without overclocking.
-vo pxa -fs or -vo sdl for VGA
# dpkg -i mplayer* libmp3lame*Use -vo pxa -vm or -vo sdl for QVGA movies
-vo pxa -fs or -vo sdl for VGA
