Re: familiar on something other than iPAQ?

Hello,

<whoosh>

Are you suggesting that we save the WinCE image, install Linux onto the iPAQ,
and then resell the old WinCE image, along with the license certificate you
received with the iPAQ?

I would guess that you would have to somehow get WinCE unloaded and Linux
loaded without actually booting WinCE.

I'm not sure who you could sell it too, but it may be possible to get it
running with a lot of work on something like WINE, but the WinCE version of it.

Might even be able to develop a boot strap loader to get WinCE to boot on a
NetWinder or something.
