Zaurus Wikipedia

It’s like it sounds.
I wanted a copy of [Wikipedia][1] to use on the run, when I had no easy access to a net connection (this is especially the case while I have no Wi-fi adapter and need to make do with Bluetooth, or USB for better bandwidth.)
Requirements:
- An SD card (or CF, I suppose) with well over 500MB of free space. I would suggest 1GB for the sake of future safety.
- A kernel on the Zaurus which supports squashfs. The latest Cacko certainly supports this, but you can probably find a module which works on whatever kernel you happen to have available.
- A little bit of patience… as these scripts can take ages to complete.
The first thing we do is grab wiki2static from this site (or grab the script directly.)
Find a directory somewhere on your desktop computer where you still have a lot of space, and extract it:
cd /mnt/data/wikipedia
tar zxf wiki2static.tar.gz
The next think you need is an actual database dump. You can get one from the Wikipedia download site. These files are pretty big
