Thank you very much for such fast reply!
It was late in the night and it didn't come to my mind, to try with live cd I thought that I had been missing something and the whole operation is possible in new Fedora, but I just didn't install required packages. I will find and older cd image and try. Thanks for helping! |

I managed to install DR800+ and I must admit it's very interesting and new functions are really very usable. I really wish they developed those functions in original firmware.
Although it's great, I found it rather unstable It freezes my device often. I generally read pdf's and device freezes sometimes when flipping pages or just opening a pdf book... Everytime it occurs, I need to "reset" device by keeping on/off switch for about 5 seconds and wait another 1-2 minutes when it's refreshing... |

I find it about as [un]stable as the original firmware, i.e. no difference in stability, but big improvements in functionality, same as you see. I run DR800+ on top of firmware 2.0rc3 -- what version were you using when you installed DR800+?

Same as you - 2.0rc3.
In my case there is noticeable difference in stability, but anyway I prefer DR800+ for it's improved features which are absolutely great. I just have to get over occasionally freezes. I just wanted to know if I am the only one who notice/have this problem or it's common. |

No actual difference noted on my part between original firmware and Iņigo's extended version as far as stability is concerned. Of course, if I open quite a few documents, the device might freeze but that's normal, I suppose, due to the limited amount of memory it comes with.
Anyway, once more, thank you, Iņigo, for making this device really worth using. |

Maybe that's because I use only PDF files - they are probably more "challenging" for a memory, buffer or something else. I'm aware of this and I don't keep in task more than one open file at same time.
Anyway I'm not going to complain about DR800+. It's really great job! |

I am late in the party as I only recently installed Linux on one of my computers and was able to retrieve the dr1000 file. But even if it is late: many many thanks for this port!

Hi all,
I see in https://www.wuala.com/wpauli71/iRex%...y=hzy7DBCsMZqH that there was an RC4 for DR800S (update-dr800s-rc4new.zip). Does anybody know if DR800+ can be installed on that RC4? Thank you in advance. |

1. uninstall dr800+ 2. upgrade firmware 3. reinstall dr800+ Be in mind that steps 1 &2 could delete DR1000 uds so back up everything before. Iņigo |
