Terminal Mode

[Codemonkey]

Hello,
I don't have a GP2X so I didn't know anything about the OS.
I heared that the OS for the Pandora is a modified GP2X-OS. Is that right?

So my question is, is a terminal or a terminal mode available? In association with the keyboard I think its a very good file browser and there are hundreds of possibilities with a bash terminal.


*Im sorry for my bad english.*

GP2X runs Linux, Pandora runs Linux. Difference at the moment is that Pandora will run a newer version of Linux than the GP2X, but theres no reason why someone can't port that version of Linux to the GP2X.

So my question is, is a terminal or a terminal mode available? In association with the keyboard I think its a very good file browser and there are hundreds of possibilities with a bash terminal.

Yes, bash is available on both devices. You can use LCD for output, or you can telnet/ssh/whatever in and do it from your pc or whatever.

Okay thank you for the answer.

How can I come in the terminal from the menu? (GP2X)

Codemonkey, three ways: install and run sterm/termula2x (it is a terminal emulator as xterm/konsole/gnome-terminal are); write in a PC, copy and run your bash script as any other gp2x application; use a telnet connection from a PC (you'll need a F100 or a cradle for this last way, not a bare F200).
