Are you in Windows or Linux? If it's Windows then the file is ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/source/qtopiadesktop-1.6.0.exe--standard executable installer. Very easy. It has a lot of good things and is worth the upgrade. Just try it.

Hey vette98, don't despair. It's true, it does require some work to get this thing up and running, and I think LOTS of screenshots and detailed explainations should help out plenty of people. I plan to start work this weekend. I'm having to return my Zaurus because of defects with the LCD screen; the HSN network said I should get my replacement by the 6th. Thus, I can't tinker with OZ. Now, I installed Intellisync SL to synchronize with my PC over Qtopia Desktop; no reason, just decided. Now, you can't have both Qtopia Desktop and Intellisync installed at the same time. You can go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Software; over there you'll get the option to remove Qtopia Desktop if you wish. Then you can insert the Zaurus CD and an automatic screen should pop-up to lead you through the installation of Intellisync. If you need more detailed help with that post back here.
Now, like I said I myself don't have any experience with Open Zaurus, but it should be pretty similar. Turn on your Zaurus and head to settings, it's a wrench looking icon on the top right, and now look for "Network and Sync". Click into it, and now you should have three tabs: Current, Services, and Sync. Click into the Sync tab. Under the USB IP Address make sure it's 192.168.129.201 and is the same for the serial IP Address. Then choose apply. Now head to your Windows desktop, along with Intellisync installed, right click the Intellisync icon and choose "Communication Options" make sure USB is selected and make sure it had PDA IP address as 192.168.129.201, or the same as previously mentioned. Right click the Intellisync icon one more time and choose "Synchronization Options"; that should give you several options to have different programs synchronize with the Zaurus.
To synchronize, right-click the Intellisync icon once more and choose synchronize. If you did a default, or the regular, installation of Intellisync you should have a "Intellisync Accessfolder" on the desktop. Copy whatever files you want on the Zaurus to this special folder on the desktop. Then right-click the Intellisync icon and choose "File Transfer" - you can now copy files to the Zaurus. If you need more help, just post back - or PM me. I hope my post wasn't condescending. Also, read through some of the links provided on the very first post by Rufio. They might be somewhat helpful; if you need explaination for them then just ask. Best of luck and if you need more help, I'll be gald to help. Look forward towards my site and give me all the suggestions you can think of!
Edit (4/03/03):
Once you've got it all set, I can assure you, that it'll be a good tool. Yes, a tool.

The fact that it runs Linux helps also. I get a warm feeling knowing that Uncle Bill didn't make a dime off of this purchase.

Well to move it I know you can just hold-click the document name in the document tab and select the new location.
To copy though, I guess you'd either have to: Upload the file again through Qtopia desktop. Or the 'expert' way to do this would be to fire up the Konsole program and type cp /mnt/card/location/of/file/to/copy.txt /mnt/cf/location/to/copy/to/.

When trying to install Konqueror it says "The packages you want to install have prerequisites. These packages are notavailable: Qt-embedded 2.3.2, libcrypto0.9.6, libssl 0.9.6"
I have tried many times but it will not install. I tried to find these other packages but I cannot find them. Any help anyone?

I'm pretty sure this is the actual file you're looking for. Try this first and see if it works. Use the instructions in the following paragraph if this doesn't work. I recommend this.
However, it does sound like Qt-embedded 2.3.2 is an old version of the Qtopia embedded environment, and you can get it here. TrollTech provides a page describing that download. You can find out more about the newer version at this page. Also, here is a mirror to the same files. You'll find the newer versions at the web page if you scroll down.
As for libcrypto, well I've got a few places you can try and download that from (just pick one):
First
Second
Third
Fourth
Now for libssl, I've also got a few places to try and download (just pick one):
First
Second - Seems like a slightly newer version
Third
I think that libcrypto and libssl have newer version, but I'm not sure if Konqueror will work with them or not. If you want to be safe, I'd just go with the version provided. The Qt-embedded, I did provide links to newer version, but again I'm not sure if that's the safest route. I think, to just get things to work, I'd install what's recommended. Maybe nacs can chime in.
Edit (04/06/03):
For some reason I hit "Reply to message" before I was done... On an off-topic note, I've secure a domain name and I'm waiting for a web host. I've picked DatHorn as the web host, as I'm hearing a lot of good things and no negative things about it here and at WHT. Unfortunately, the owner accepts only the number of customers he can support rather then oversell, which is great - but I can't get an account, yet. I might try things temporarily, and I think I'd like PMs of people willing to volunteer help. First I'll flesh out the basic details then get right on it! Then, when I get the chance move it immediately to DatHorn.
Thanks for the help but when I try to install libcrypto it wants a file called libc6 2.2.4-4 even tho I have the version 2.2.4-9 installed. The other files installed fine. I think I will go back to the Sharp Rom till someone has some definite set instructions on how to install Konqueror. Boy do I miss windows. Whats funny to is when I try to install Konqueror it still says it needs libssl even tho that is installed too.
