I just finished downloading v0.15 and getting it running... NICE!
Really miss the /etc/ppp setup, tho, I get a real kick out of rlogin'ing
in multiple times, running X apps on the ipaq on my main display... -
also, netscape looks kind of neat when displayed on the ipaq.... vi is
nice to have... it's only 350k or so...
I'm working on patching the handhelds kernel stuff into 2.4.0test8.
(hope to do a better job this time)
While I love having the new writable space on the ipaq, and I like Carl
Worth's suggestions,
I have tended to move strictly developer things like "gdb" off of an
embedded box entirely, leave a symlink in place, and to nfs mount them
when I need them. gdb -> /mnt/debugging/usr/bin/gdb where
/mnt/debugging is a NFS mount of my main hardhat "target" share. (hmm,
maybe I can get automount to work - coda anyone?)
Demos and other non-essentials then go into /usr/local....
I don't much care for twm. What I want is a windowless window manager
(like WinCE) that multitasks (like twm). I like the idea of this pie
menu thing of Russ Nelson's
(www.crynwr.com/piewm/piewm-shadow-menus.gif) - strikes me as a useful,
innovative "fling the pen around" interface for a pda... I keep
daydreaming of an wm called "Dot", where a tiny semi-transparent "dot"
is always onscreen and can pull up a pie menu at a tap... apps have no
decorations, very thin scrollbars and always start maximized....
