G'day everyone,

> This sounds like a good plan.

Right! It sounds good for development purposes, but I don't think that
using HaRET is the end goal:

    * So far, it can take several attempts before succeeding to start
      Linux from HaRET
    * Each time you reboot Linux, you have to go through the Wincows CE
      getting started thing before being able to start HaRET, which is
      annoying, especially for those who don't care about Wincows CE.
    * You have to agree with the Wincows CE End User License Agreement
      to start HaRET. If we make a master flash card (for the HTC
      bootloader), new users won't ever have to run Wincows on their device.

> Additionally, it enables the use of a Linux application to install
Linux on the device natively for people who want that.

You mean a bit like Knoppix that comes with a script to install all the
packages on the hard disk? Cool! Good idea!

    :-)

    Michael.
