RE: [iPAQ] Installing Linux, step 13

Hi,

Basically what you are trying to do is the sequence
of commands in minicom that allow you to transfer a
file. If you start a transfer quickly you don't end
up with a lot of NAKs which really slow the transfer
down.
If you don't have any NAKs then you are lucky. The siting
of a NAK means there that the receiver didn't acknowledge
the packet being sent. May have to do many NAKs before the
packet makes it.
> 5. ctrl-a z s <cr> <cr>. What's this do?
This is just a sequence of key strokes that you should issue
within minicom to allow you to get to start the transfer.
I would have expected it to be ctrl-a s <cr> <cr> though since
it should be basically the same commands that were entered previously
but using the defaults - hence the double press of the Enter key.
(I am not able to check the command sequence right now though.)

You shouldn't get a timeout. Check that rz is installed. minicom uses
it. 'rz --version' should tell you if it is.

Dirk
