Success: MicroSDCard boots Devuan on Jornada 720

Hi Joval,

Tried downloading the new devj720-2m.zip file.

It just downloads very quick and I get a 0 bytes (instead of 597MB as shown on download page) ....tried several times...

If I click on the blue 'Download' button, I get the 'a-DevJornada720.zip file...at 399MB....(same size as yesterday).

Text on download page says this is supposed to be a 999MB download.

So it goes.....

Yeah...yo comprendo. It's the ATT internet... has the slowest upload speed in the universe... that's the problem...better wait a few hours

Hey, I just created a 4Gb CF image which I compressed to 0.411 Gb and decompressed and burned to San Disk UltraII 4.0Gb CF card... boots up fine, updates date/time, X-forwards Firefox or Vncviewer by ssh into RasPi. It will upload after the 2 Gb image (however Gawd awfully long that will take on Att)!

Also. I used Etcher in Windows 10 (after extracting it from zip) to burn the image and verify it... all was good.

Patience, m'boy, patients! If it's not uploaded in a few hours I will go looking for a faster upload option elsewhere.

As an aside/option try booting your original 4Gb img CF card using the pcmcia slot... might work if you have a cf to pcmcia adapter.

OK, Captain Joval......standing by for new uploads.....understand your internet constraints right now....

Will be patient.......

Yes, I have a cf to pcmcia adapter I can try.....will do this evening....

PS. I might take another stab and fixing the keymap for X.....think it's worth another try....
