Re: dual boot versus CyaCE (Erik Hovland)

Eric,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes that is the link I meant versus the CyaCE solution. The "CyaCE solution"
seems to be able to boot into linux from a running WinCE environment and
just after pressing reset, returning into WinCE again which seems very
convenient (although I do not find much information on this though).
Apparently this same trick seem to work for LOOX XScale devices as well...
(http://loox-linux.sourceforge.net/).

I noticed that there is some old version wondering around, but this one does
not seem to work on 5450 : http://handhelds.org/download/apps/cyace/

It would be nice to have such a solution running on IPAQ with Familiar, let
alone for demo purposes...

Regards,
Filip
