Wow, okay... that was a random problem.... Turns out that copying files from my linux server onto the CF card doesnt work too well. It works fine from my machine here.

Excuse me, english is not my native lnguage an so i am not sure if i
understood you. Is it right, that the problem was your server?
Did the linux-2200 work on your Netvista now?

Sometimes i had trouble copying files with some CF Cards too.
I don't no why some Cards work and some not, but after formatting them in my camera and make a new linux partition the they mostly work fine.

Has anyone been able to get a USB wifi adapter to work?

The kernel is not compiled with wireless lan support.

What about a USB external hard drive?

I don't have a USB hard drive, but i have a usb-stick and i think
USB hard drives work in the same way. so try to make:
mknod /dev/sda0 b 8 0
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
modprobe usb-storage
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /your_mount_directory
or
mount /dev/sda1 /your_mount_directory

8363,

Big Thanks for all of your work on this project, my company is sitting on a gross of these things and I hope to be able to get some use out of them. I have a NetVista 2200 and after buying a new CF card, flashing the BIOS and some tinkering, I'm up on the network after using your instructions at http://linux-2200.berlios.de/
This may be a better question for the Busybox or fluxbox sites, but I had the same problem as caulktel with the keyboard mapping. I fixed the /etc/init.d/rcS file to eliminate the loadkmap command, but I still have a German keyboard in xfree86. When I drop out of X and into a busybox shell my mappings are ok, but as soon as I "startx" my problem comes back. I've checked the XF86Config file and the XkbKeymap is set to xfree86(us).

Thanks Again,
Ron Lussier

Ron ,

remove /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
or better rename into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.ger

8363,

Danke Schoen, that worked! I've also gotten Xmms to play MP3s, but I'll have to bring it home to see if it will stream audio, as I don't know how I'll get through the corporate proxy server with it.

Ron
