I haven't even gotten my card in the mail yet to try out with the zipit, but I am so impressed with EVERYTHING you have done to not only add a hell of a lot of functionality to the zipit, but also keep the original OS that comes with it in tact as well. Keep up the great work! I'd really like to see that backlight working when trying this stuff out in a future update. I'm rooting for you!Destroyer77https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778874734173179316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653528.post-61825566242899938012010-01-02T18:59:52.598-05:002010-01-02T18:59:52.598-05:00Hey Ray, found something that might be of interest...Hey Ray, found something that might be of interest. It's basically links2 hacked together with elinks to allow css and jscript along with tabbed browsing in console.<br /><br />http://xray.sai.msu.ru/~karpov/links-hacked/<br /><br />Also snes9x and gnuboy emulators will run in framebuffer if you get froggy.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />-wicknixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653528.post-55454123106793168452009-12-22T10:41:26.460-05:002009-12-22T10:41:26.460-05:00Wicknix, this is pretty cool stuff.

The busybox changes will make the core-utils pack unessesary, so that should free up 9 megs or so from the image.<br /><br />MOC had been my first choice in MP3 playing, but I got tangled up in trying to get things built static. Now that we have the shared libraries thing figured out - it should be no sweat to build it.<br /><br />It may take me some time to get all this stuff cleaned up and released but I will probably have some idle time here during the holiday.<br /><br />Thanks for the contributions! These are really awesome additions.<br /><br />-RayRay_Haquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242556207340780397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653528.post-38863879588485421022009-12-18T00:28:08.452-05:002009-12-18T00:28:08.452-05:00Hey Ray, Awesome!

Nano is a lifesaver. Beats powering off and removing the card every time to edit a file.<br /><br />Midnight commander doesn't 'require' the F keys, it can also use ESC + 1 - 0. 1 = F1, 0 = F10, etc etc. However i can't seem to figure out which key is ESC on the z2. If all else fails maybe you could load a different keymap for mc like you did for links2? Say like the smily face button for esc.<br /><br />I also thought of some more apps i'd enjoy having (limited time to play or i'd try building them). Mikmod and sidplay to handle .s3m/.xm/.mod/.it/.sit and .sid files (protracker/sountracker and commodore 64 sound file players). Also thought about bplay, a small sound player for .au and .wav that would allow you to enable sounds in centerIM. Last but not least, i'm quite partial to madplay for mp3 playback.<br /><br />Also have you thought about MOC (music on console) for your mp3 player? Can't remember if it can handle streaming radio, but it's quite nice and simple to operate.<br /><br />Cheers.<br />wicknixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653528.post-25578133393956043162009-12-17T15:10:59.790-05:002009-12-17T15:10:59.790-05:00Hey wicknix,
These are some really awesome additi...Hey wicknix,<br /><br />These are some really awesome additions you have come up with. At one point I had tried to get bash built but I had run into some sort of issue with it. I will gladly include your bash in the next release (with credit due to you, of course). <br /><br />I will also happily use your links2 cfg file. That really makes the browser more usable!<br /><br />As for busybox, I approached it some point to rebuild it to my liking. But the list of questions to configure it went on for miles and I chickened out. I instead opted to build the core-utils package. But ... still no hostname. I will look to fix that in the next release.<br /><br />Per your suggestion, I have built nano and midnight commander. I will include them in the next release as well. But since you requested them I will give you an early start on testing them out. ;-)<br /><br />I was able to build nano as a single binary: http://oddree.com/zipit/nano<br /><br />mc had to be built dynamic, since it uses glib2 (the GNOME folks don't want a static glib). Also - I didn't do anything yet to fix the key-bindings. So everything is controlled by F1-F10 keys, which we don't have. But anyway ... you can get a package from here: http://oddree.com/zipit/mc-zipitz2.zip<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by. Come chat to us in #zipit on irc.freenode.net some time!<br /><br />-RayRay_Haquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242556207340780397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653528.post-62961968887566056142009-12-16T20:07:42.303-05:002009-12-16T20:07:42.303-05:00Excellent work. I was starting to expand on z2shel...Excellent work. I was starting to expand on z2shell myself as i didn't much like angstrom or debian. I stumbled across this page searching for 'irssi static arm binary' for building tips. I just never had much time since my desktop is set to build for mipsel for a different project i'm doing. (distro/packages for those cheap 400mhz mips netbooks)<br /><br />So i have a few idea's/tips if you're willing to include them down the road sometime. First i have a static binary of 'bash' and i made a .bashrc so it displays color for 'ls' etc etc. Also i made a html.cfg for links2 that makes the images display 50% scale and drops the font to 12. Now pages look and fit better on the 320x240 screen. You can grab them here: <br />http://www.hostwork.com/users/matt/zipitz2/<br /><br />Since in your FAQ it said we could request software i have a few ideas. Nano editor and midnight commander file manager are 'must haves'. Those would practically complete your 2.03 release for me.<br /><br />The built in busybox seems to be missing the 'hostname' function which is a shame because when using bash the hostname shows as (none). Maybe rebuild busybox and rename it busyboxz2 for use of other missing functions like hostname.<br /><br />As for your image viewer problem.... Just use links2. Start it with 'file:///' and it becomes a file browser that can read txt/html and show images.<br /><br />Again, great work.<br />wicknixAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
