RTFM, thanks a lot for your help, it works very well with the taskbar.
Firefox runs fine in gpe prebuilt here
(j728
), even if you have to wait a bit in order for the pages to be loaded, but you can surf quite well in my opinion. I noticed that you have created a swap file
(32mb
) integrated in the prebuilt; is it enough, or do we have to create another one on the cf-card?
Here a little list of some issues I encounter with the gpe prebuilt
(gpe only tar.bz2
):
PIM - contact: it says 'no such table: contacts' but lounches contact though;
PIM - time tracker: it says 'no such table: task' and ends up;
PIM - to-do list: it says 'no such table: todo_dbinfo' but lounches to-do list;
UTILITIES - File Manager: I find it not so practicable; why not konqueror instead
(as in opie
)?
UTILITIES - GPS Drive: I find it not useful;
UTILITIES - PANEL: Aerial: what is it for? it doesn't seem to work here
(click on the icon, but nothing happens
);
UTILITIES - Plucker: I don't know what is it for, but it seems to work;
UTILITIES - Text Editor: mmmh, doesn't work with my txt files: 'invalid byte sequence in conversion input'; I am using nano right now;
NETWORK - Zinc: it seems to work, but what is it for?
NETWORK - Mini Browser: not so useful, and it doesn't support complexe java scripts
(crashes
); I would be happy with 'only' dillo
(or links which is in the repos
) and firefox;
SETTINGS - Package Manager: since I pick up and install my packages from the command line, I don't find it very useful; it is quiet heavy, too; and you have almost all needed application in your prebuilt already
SETTINGS - Date/Time Setup: it seems not to be able to keep my time, even if I want it not to synchronize with the internet;
RUN BOX - I find it not so useful since you have aterm and xterms;
Keyboard - with en_GB.qwerty: yellow and blue keys don't seem to work; the 'del' key doesn't do anything;
Things I miss: besides smbmount/smbfs, skype would be great
(maybe to heavy, however
), limited bash history, too, and, and, and, maybe the most important of all features: keyboard de, fr, fr_CH-latin1, se, sp, and so on with full functional keys; unfortunately, I am not a programmer, otherwise I would have been glad to be able to contribute on this point.
Next challenge: I have to experiment without x in order to see if I can check my emails, surf and ssh, what should not be a problem.
Anyway, a great job. I am already very excited to try icewm. I'll be back in some days
(I have to travel for job with my j728 and your prebuilt
), and I'll give you my feedback.
Thanks again and see you soon,
al
can't wait to check it out myself.
. If there is a way to get a text dump of this thread and any of the others where you've tended to answer all of our questions, I would be happy to consolidate further, and you or PS or somebody can sticky it somewhere as well as post it on your freeshells site. 
!Just shoot me a direct email if somebody's interested.
