Re: dual booting

Hello,
I'll ask you a question, when you say dual booting, do you mean booting Linux and WinCE seperately? Or would you accept the fact that WinCE could "bootstrap" Linux?
Have you heard of HaReT? Although that is for reverse engineering handhelds and such, it is capable of booting a Linux kernel on a specific version of Pocket PC. (I think it was 2003 up)
Anyway, it's not very easy setting up the environment, though you could get it to work on a CF card.
As far as I know, it MIGHT be possible to do this from SD, considering using the initrd to load the SD/MMC modules and mount the drive, but I wouldn't really know.
I was going to try this, but I just couldn't be bothered spending hours trying to get such an environment working. (Let alone building a cross compiler)
I'm sure this might not work so well or someone (Say, a professional in here *HINT*) might prove this method wrong, but I'm only speaking from what I have heard works.
Good luck with that by the way,
Ahmad
