Re: Success and next steps

Thats ok even testing is a bit contribution.

Ive not touched the settings at all, this stuff is just as i found it
off the web after a lot of searching, cause most of the links i would
find were dead.

A couple of things, mine freezes if it goes to sleep after inactivity,
so if it freezes after a while its most likely because it tries to go to
sleep.

I will be writing a guide on how to connect your pda to your computer
via USB and how to set it up so that you can connect to the web with the
PDA via your computer (ill notify the list).

Another thing im working on is getting a newer kernel or update with one
of the angstrom repositories (the axim repository is no longer there so
on one will be able to update to anything).

But im on vacations just now so that might take a while just now.
