Re: [iPAQ] Linux on ipaq HP 6340

See the spec for the h6300 on the Wiki:
   http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH6315

There is also a mailing list:
  https://www.handhelds.org/mailman/admin/h6300-port

See Michael Opdenacker's informative presentation on how to port Linux
to a PDA:
 http://free-electrons.com/articles/porting/en

Do not use BootBlaster or BootBlaster3900. Get Linux booting from
PocketPC via HaRET and then we can talk about how to boot Linux natively.

Hope this helps.
