Re: Downloading software from a Linux notebook ...

Hi Armin,

try ftp-ing to port 4242 on your z.  That's what the standard sync stuff 
does.  Just log in as root.  No password required.

Since you can access webservers on your lan, you might also be able to 
install software directly.  Go to Settings|Add/Remove Software and tap 
"Install packages via networks".
Tap on the little switch at the bottom and create a new entry for 
Zauruszone using the URL http://www.zauruszone.com/feed/.  You might 
have to setup the proxy stuff if you can't get beyond your local lan 
directly.

Good luck.
