Other Zaurus tips

You can format the internal harddisk on an SL-C3200 to ext3. This has the advantage that you can then install applications on it and fully use it as a Linux harddrive.

After you've formatted it as ext3, in order to enable the Zaurus to automount it on boot, you must do the following.

• # mount -o remount,rw /

• Edit the /root/etc/rc.d/rc.rofilesys file. There are three lines in it, beginning with:
  mount -t vfat
  Change them to:
  mount -t $LINUXFMT -o noatime /dev/${IDE1}3 /hdd3
  
• Edit the /sbin/hddmount file.

• # mount -o remount,ro /

The Zaurus will now mount the hdd3 automatically upon boot and you can install programs to it etc.
