Yeah me too. Particularly because it's much easier to build the
user-space tools with a cross-compiler.

I will think about doing this if I get some time. For now, I have
uploaded the latest basic user-space binaries separately to
ftp://rococosoft.com/pub/zaurus with instructions for installing them in
the right places. It would not be too hard to write packaging scripts
for them --- indeed this is something anyone could do using the
ipkg-build script; volunteers?

We only have 2 Zauruses here (one with the older Sharp ROM and the other
with the new one) so I can't try OpenZaurus :-(
