3.2.2. Download ipk package by using NFS

If you have a local area network in your development environment, you may also use NFS to download the ipk

package to the SL-series Zaurus from your PC-Linux. In order to do so, you need to have the “terminal”

application installed on the SL-series Zaurus. The “terminal” application can be obtained from

http://www.myzaurus.com/downloads.asp

(STEP 1) Enable LAN access on your Zaurus

Insert the network card to the SL-series Zaurus If the network card is successfully recognized upon its insertion to

the device, a card icon appears on the task bar. In the case the CF network card is not recognized, pull out the

card and re-insert to the SL-series Zaurus. In addition, the following commands from the “terminal” application will

also provide the same result:

# cardctl eject

# cardctl insert

If the device still does not recognize the network even by executing the above above commands, reset the

SL-series Zaurus to have cardmgr services available.

(STEP 2) Configure network interface of your Zaurus

Invoke the “Network” application from the “Settings” tab, and enable the TCP/IP networking service on the

SL-series Zaurus. See the Operation Manuals for how to configure the network interface of the SL-series Zaurus.

(STEP 3) Mounting file system by NFS

Invoke the “terminal” application on the “Applications” tab. When the application successfully invoked, a console

(shell) screen will appear. For instance, if the

/server

directory of the nfs server (whose IP address in

SS.SS.SS.SS) is exported for the client, the following command will allow client access to the

/server
