Tichy is a work in progress, for more information and to understand
the goals of tichy, please read the README file included in the source
repository [0].  Also see the google code web page [1].

I tried to install the release on openmoko using a debian [2]
distribution and also SHR [3] distribution. Installing on FSO [4]
should also be possible, but currently the python-pygame package is
missing from the feeds for FSO, which prohibit to install tichy on it.

3 Installing on openmoko debian
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  From the phone, type:

   apt-get update
   wget http://tichy.googlecode.com/svn/release/1.1.0/tichy_1.1.0_armel.deb
   dpkg -i tichy_1.1.0_armel.deb

  To run it, type:

   export DISLPAY=:0
   tichy


4 Installing on openmoko SHR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  From the phone:

   opkg update
   opkg install http://tichy.googlecode.com/svn/release/1.1.0/tichy_1.1.0_armv4t.ipk

  It should add an icon on illume menu, but of course we can also run
  it from command line.

5 Known issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  - python-xlib library is missing on SHR, that prohibits form running
    the terminal and player applications.

  - Tichy is slower on SHR than on debian.  It may come from the way
    the guic extension has been compiled for the ipk package.

  - There are a few bugs with the embedded X windows used in the
    terminal and player applications.

  - The PIM functionalities still have some problems that need to be
    fixed.  It hasn't been tested a lot.
