Installation:

This information assumes you have already used the Autoflasher script:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openzipit/index.php?title=AutoFlasher_Software

Download:

Extract:
The archive is comperssed with rar and bzip2, and split
(A new method of delivery will be developed, dont worry)

Windows:
rar+bzip2 tool: http://7-zip.org/

Linux: 
rar x *part*1.rar
bzip2 -d filename.bz2



Userland to Flash Card:


Write Directly to Flash Device(for 1GB cards):

Windows: 
You can use http://m0n0.ch/wall/physdiskwrite.php
To write the image to your FLASH device.

Linux:
dd if=/folder/filename.dd of=/dev/deviceid
if=inputfile of=outputfile


For Larger than 1GB & Custom devices:

Windows:
Windows users, I apologize in advance, Windows sucks. 
The bad news is Windows has NO utilities to do this!!
But the good news is, you can follow the Linux directions!  
To do so: Either download a live-cd of Linux and boot it. 
hope the utilities are all available on the 


It is recommended that you install http://wubi-installer.org/
To complete the tasks below


Or: Install Linux on VirtualMachine inside of Windows!
Sun VirtualBox.

update: another method has come to my attention. it may be possible to use cygwin
if someone wants to attempt it and write directions i will gladly post them

Linux: **MUST BE DONE AS ROOT**
Parition the drive:
You can use cfdisk/gparted/fdisk/parted.

Create Partitions:
Partition 1: MUST BE EXT3
Partition 2: MUST BE SWAP

Create Filesystems:
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/deviceid1
# mkswap /dev/deviceid2

Mounting Image:
There are 2 methods that I am aware of.
1. Using the tools and directions shown here: 
http://equivocation.org/node/107 
or
2. Find the offset of Partition 1 of the image.

Mounting using the offset method
offset should be 1536 on the original image for scratch
# mount -o loop,ro,offset=1536 image.img /path/to/mount/to

Copying files:
You want to make sure you preserve the file permissions and links: '
**cp -RvPp' will do just that.

# cp -RvPp /path/to/mounted/image/. /path/to/mounted/sd/card/partition/1.ext3

Configuration / Usage



Hot keys:


[Options] = enable mouse via d-pad

ctrl+f=fullscreen
ctrl+z=prev window
ctrl+l=close
ctrl+d=desktop


Change your default passwords
USER:PASSWORDS are:
user:zipitz2  root:debian
At a minimum change the user password.  
Root logins should not be allowed by default.
Open a terminal. Type 
$ passwd 

Services
The UserLand comes with the inetd superserver running telnetd and ftpd
If you do not want these servers enabled simply do the following from a terminal

$ su
# rcconf
>> uncheck inetd and "tab" to "ok" then press enter

Transferring Files
This is done with an FTP client.
So that you do not need to remove the sdcard, and can continue to use the device.

Be careful not to delete any ".files"

Try your FTP Service
Connect to the network with the WIFI Connection tool
Once connected your IP address is shown on the screen by dhcp.
You can also select network status from the WIFI Connection tool to get it.

Simply input the IP address into your FTP client with the user name
user, and the password that you chose earlier.
Once you connect your Z2 to your home network you can upload Music/ROMS/Videos to your Z2.


Officially Tested and Supported file types

ROMS		: Currently only SNES,NES and GAMEBOY+COLOR roms are supported by the system.
		As other emulation software gets tested, and becomes available they will be added to the
      		default system.
	  	* dgen for genesis is on the system but appears to have poor functionality. (not related to 			the z2

ScummVM		: There arent enough words to describe this please visit http://scummvm.org/
Music		: The MP3 player only supports MP3 files (as far as I am aware)
Videos		: Mplayer supports many other music and video formats
Music Formats	: Mplayer supports many other music and video formats

Audio/Video File Format not recognized
If your system does not recognize a media file you uploaded.
Try to associate mplayer with it.

This can be done easilly by right clicking on the file.
Under the File: menu select "Set Run Action *"
mplayer "$@"

Take care that the videos need to be down converted to 320x240 
with a lowered bitrate to run properly on the device.

You may also need to specify additional arguments to mplayer to play some formats
check the man(1) page 



Remote configuration can be done through telnet
[I know telnet has no encryption, but it is "light-weight", and why would you use it on an open network?]

You can remotely connect to the device and administer it VIA telnet.

Information on doing so can be found at http://www.debian.org and http://wiki.debian.org.  
Also Read any Ubuntu guides, they are generally for the a novice.

There are many advanced uses and features of the device beyond the scope of the original uses of a "tween" messenger.
