If you are installing toMOTko for the very first time on your Zaurus, you will most probably get this error message :

cp: /home/zaurus/.toMOTko: No such file or directory //usr/lib/ipkg/info/toMOTko.preinst failed. Aborting installation of toMOTko.

This is due to an error in the preinstallation script. Thanks to Thomas for reporting this bug. I cannot fix it now and won't be able to do so for the following weeks. I'm away from home and have no time and no linux machine to perform the change.

In order to fix the situation, you need to do the following :

- Open a terminal/console window
- Type this instruction: mkdir /home/zaurus/.toMOTko

That's it. Once this is done, the preinstallation script should work properly.

Sorry for this inconvenience. This will be fixed in the next release.
