your current partition layout). You will need to reboot your Zaurus once you have repartitioned it
and then repeat the above steps to get into the Maintenance Menu again and then into the pdaXii13
updater menu.
From the pdaXii13 updater menu, choose Option 3 "Install kernel and bootloader" to flash your
C3000 with a new kernel and boot loader image. If you have a C3100 or C3200 and you want to
install Alice onto them instead of Sally, then this option will update your existing system (which has
to be pdaXrom beta3 or pdaXii13 Akita base) to boot into the MicroDrive but will not update the
kernel nor the rest of the system.
Once the installation has finished, you will need to extract the hdimage.tgz (or one of its variants)
onto the MicroDrive. Choose Option 4 for that and wait a while until it formats your first partition as
ext3 and extracts the content of the tgz file onto the first partition of your MicroDrive.
Then choose the last option (Option 6) to reboot and pdaXii13 should be installed and boot into X
windows. OpenBox will be the default X window manager just like in the default pdaXrom beta3.
During your first boot, your SSL private and public keys will be generated which will take a while.
If you have used the recommended partition scheme or used your own custom partition layout,
then you need to format those remaining partitions. During the initial boot, you will also be given a
choice to format your second and third partition if you have them. The second partition will be
formatted as swap while the third partition will be formatted as FAT. Alternatively, you can do it
manually as well. Start a terminal console and format the remaining partitions depending on what
type of partitions you have created. For example:
# mkswap /dev/hda2
# swapon /dev/hda2
# mkfs.vfat /dev/hda3
# mount /dev/hda3 /data
The above assumes you have no CF card inserted. Otherwise use hdc instead of hda.
Once your second partition is initialised, it will be automatically enabled as swap when you reboot.
Similarly, your third partition will be automatically mounted as /data after a reboot.
Installation files for pdaXii13 Spitz (Alice) can be downloaded from
pdaXii13 files
area on
tyrannozaurus which contains a stable release version. Alternatively, there are also alpha/beta test
binaries available for downloaded from the bleeding edge
testing
area.
pdaXii13 Spitz was build for the SL-C3000 and has only been tested on a SL-C3000. It may work on
SL-C3100/SL-C3200 if they have pdaXrom beta3 or pdaXii13 Akita base installed prior to installing
pdaXii13 Spitz, but may also break those models. It is not guaranteed to work, and even if you
managed to get it installed, there still may be some things that won't work.
pdaXii13 Spitz
is for
the SL-C3000 and runs entirely from the internal MicroDrive. It is available as pdaXii13 base and
pdaXii13 full.
pdaXii13 Spitz
is also the main release of pdaXii13.
pdaXii13 Akita
is for SL-C1000, SL-C3100 and SL-C3200 and runs off the 128MB internal flash
(NAND). It is primarily available as pdaXii13 base only, but can be extended to pdaXii13 full on
SL-C3100 and SL-C3200 by utilising the internal MicroDrive to store the entire hdd image from the
Spitz install. On the SL-C1000 this can not be done automatically due to it not having an internal
MicroDrive. There is, however, an experimental feature for the SL-C1000 to install the hdd image to
a SD card instead.
Installation instructions and installation files for pdaXii13 Akita (Sally) can be found at
tyrannozaurus in the
akita
area. The pdaXii13 Akita install process is similar to the pdaXrom beta3
install and the same that applies to pdaXrom beta1/beta3 also applies to pdaXii13 Akita installation.
It is advised to resize the NAND root to 121 during installation in order to utilize all of pdaXii13's
features.
