Sounds good ... but I wouldn't count this particular chicken until it hatches, the Wii remotes are very picky about connecting to computers. I don't think they're 100% standards compliant.

I'm still convinced that a gps decoder could be squirreled away somewhere in the case and wired to Pandora's serial port. But there's no way I'm going to attempt that sort of surgery until I'm 100% certain that I could buy a second one in case of ... an accident.

I like ending letters with "I have enclosed $20 for your troubles, I hope those jerks at the post office don't steal it." and then sending the envelope unsealed. It's a shame this doesn't work with email, I can't even remember the last time I sent a letter postal mail. (Except to the I.R.S...

It's pretty clear : "Here is a device that will be available next month, that will make it strong competition for this other much-delayed device that will still not be generally available at that time." 'Lumbering' in the sense that it is slow to get here. That may be their point.

His Holiness is always running eBay scams.

It would certainly be handy to have a PND file that gives us a "man files content pack" including all the man files that go with the utilities that came with the Pandora. I'd download that.

Hmm... This may be what I want. I'll have to look at it more closely. Either this, or running entirely from SD will make me happy. Thanks all. -Andy

Fair enough. I guess what I was looking for was the easiest way I could do it all by myself. I should have specified.

That would be tremendous!

Two random comments : Don't some GNU tools recommend some other tool that is somehow more idealistically compatible with GNU fanatics, and therefore have pretty pitiful man pages? Gayest Linux Command Ever : man mount (Unless you're female, then perhaps it is the sexiest command ever?)

No offense, but that's a horrible answer. I understand the desire to increase the library of PND files, but if I own a computer, especially a Linux machine, It's important to me that I know how to install software on it without someone holding my hand.

(Thanks all for the quick replies.)

Well, sure. I was using Gimp as an example only. Hmm... I thought I tried this, but it's possible I screwed it up. I'll try it again. Hmm... I was afraid someone would say that. OK, I'll give that a try as a sort of last resort. (It feels like I lose flexibility that way.)

So, I've installed a couple of small things with opkg, and that works great for little things that I want on my Pandora at all times. What I'd like to know is, what's the easiest way to install packages from that repository onto the larger removable drives. Ideally I'd like something that...

I use the console a lot. In fact it's part of the reason I got Pandora and not some other thing. I tend to use man pages a lot (on other systems), but I can live without them when I'm within range of a wifi point, and in most cases my question can be answered with a --Help. I guess what I'm...

Code names are always better than final names. Just be smart and keep the code name! I don't have much to add here, except that I hope you lose the tag clouds shown in the first image. I know they're very web-point-oh and all, but they're also ugly, and waste a lot of space, which is critical...

Oh, because "Google Chrome" (With the built-in flash) is a closed source project. So unless they compile one specifically for Pandora's CPU we can't have it. Most of Chrome is released as "Chromium", the open source web-browser we CAN have. It's almost the same thing, but one of the things...

There was a post your wifi speeds thread. My numbers are here.

Even if you didn't get a cool round number, perhaps you could get some other certification that you waited longer than the rest of us.

"If my regular computer was a workbench, my Pandora would be a Swiss Army knife that can plays games."
