ipaq 3800 Linux

opie: Sometimes opie apps won't start for me. It's because opie seems to need a fair amount of space in /tmp to run anything. Why's that? I usually stick a bunch of mp3s in /tmp. Well, maybe soon I'll have a friendly MMC for my mp3s.
Also, when I use the shell, I always want to press the center button of the cursor control to hit 'enter'. That usually worked with ice, but with opie, all heck breaks loose. Little bug, I guess.
Ooh! It's a trifecta: opie's smart enough to time out. In general that's fine, but it's bad for playing mp3s. (Since I'm not smart enough to figure out how to use the media player, I'm just running a shell script to start madplay.) When I turn the ipaq off, then turn it back on, madplay doesn't resume. Or, let's say it does, but only with a buzzing sound. Using ice, that wasn't a problem; madplay would just pick up where it left off.
