To have &opie; 1.0 on an &ipaq;, you have to install a Familiar + &opie; image on your &ipaq;. An image is in fact a file, containing the memory image of an &ipaq; with Familiar (the linux distribution) and &opie; (the graphical platform) installed. You can download it from the Internet, then load it in your &ipaq; through a Compact Flash card, serial port or USB. To start with, go to the Familiar download page. Put the model of you &ipaq; under Please select your hardware, choose testing, v0.7.1 as the Familiar version, and Opie as the set of files, and press Download. Follow the Familiar installation instructions then, to know how to upload this image file on your &ipaq;. Configuring a network connection for the &ipaq; is then very useful, in order to install new packages, or upgrade existing ones (to get new features or bugfixes, for example). The Familiar site provides instructions for connecting the &ipaq; to the Internet in a variety of ways. See this &ipaq; networking tutorial to have information on configuring PPP or USB, and masquerading (giving access to the Internet through your PC), for example. Setting up masquerading is even simpler on Windows, if you can adapt this kind of tutorial for Windows. When your &ipaq; is connected to Internet, you can and should do several things, in command line, using Familiar, as noted in the Familiar post-install page, or using Opie applications. For example you can synchronize the &ipaq; clock with network time servers. There is a graphical way to do that through the Settings / Date/Time Opie application, or you can also run as root the following command: ntpdate -b time.handhelds.org To teach to your &ipaq; what are the new packages or updated packages it can dowload, run the command (as root again): ipkg update Or use the Settings / Packages Opie graphical application. To download and install automatically new versions, if they exist, of your installed packages, ipkg upgrade Or use the Package Opie application again.

&opie; applications will install and run on the default &zaurus; ROM (Linux-based distribution, as well as Familiar) with no problems,except for Launcher. It is not compatible with the default ROM, and should not be installed. You should be able to find the fine &opie; packages for you &zaurus; default ROM at this feed address: http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/sharprom/. Another option is to replace the default &zaurus; ROM with the OpenZaurus ROM image. OpenZaurus is a openly developed Linux distribution designed to run on the &zaurus;, and uses &opie; as its default user interface. For more information and installation instructions, please visit OpenZaurus.org web site. Notice you will access the Opie 1.0 feeds at the address http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/openzaurus/.
