To install &opie; on an &ipaq;, a recent Familiar installation will be needed. Go to the Familiar project homepage (http://familiar.handhelds.org) to download the latest version of the "bootstrap" image (do not install the bootstrap-opie or bootstrap-gpe images). Follow the instructions on the Familiar website to install the image. Do not install the task-complete or task-x packages as they are not needed to run &opie; and will unnecessarily occupy space on the &ipaq;. A network connection needs to be configured on the &ipaq; in order to download the &opie; packages from the feed. The Familiar site provides instructions for connecting to the Internet in a variety of ways. &opie; requires the libpng3 package to be installed. Prior to installing &opie;, ensure that this package is installed. It is available in the Familiar feed and can be installed by running this command: ipkg install libpng3 If you had QPE/QTopia installed previously, completely remove it, and then remove the source line for that feed from your /etc/ipkg.conf file before attempting to install &opie;. Once you have Familiar installed (including libpng3), and the network connection between the &ipaq; and the outside world, run the following command: echo src opie "http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/ipaq/unstable/" \ >> /etc/ipkg.conf then, run: ipkg update && ipkg install task-opie If you have a 3100 or 3800 series &ipaq;, run: ipkg install libqt2-emb-fonts finally, start &opie; with: /etc/init.d/opie start

&opie; applications will install and run on the default &zaurus; ROM with no problems, except for Launcher. It is not compatible with the default ROM, and should not be installed. 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 their site, http://www.openzaurus.org/.
