Squeak Zaurus 5500 ROM 3.10 (was Re: Squeak OPIE IPAQ ...)

Yoshiki,

I am trying this IPK on a Zaurus 5500 with ROM 3.10.

It pops open a File Selection Dialog on the "/home" directory.

I put dynapad.image and dynapad.changes into the home directory and tried to
select them, but they are grayed out.

I can't select the file and the only button available is the X (Close)
button.

What type of file is it looking for at this point?


Thanks,
Doug Mair
