I don't have answer to all of you questions, but a few thoughts. (Note that I am not running familiar on any unit, haven't even tried it.) There are (at least) two ways of running familiar on a handheld. You can replace the Windows installed in rom with familiar or you can run/boot familiar using haret. Using the haret method your iPAQ will return to its original state (Windows) when performing a reset. All data stored in any applications will be lost, the unit will be returned to the state when it was new. When developing/modifying familiar for a new unit I would use the haret method until everything was running OK. I believe there should be a lot of information available on the net about this. I also believe that you should have some experience compiling and installing Linux on a PC before starting to make a system for a handheld. Building your own kernel for your PC could be a good start. Just some thoughts. -- Oddgeir _______________________________________________ The Familiar Linux Distribution Familiar mailing list [email protected] https://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/familiar irc://irc.freenode.net #familiar
