Re: h6365

I don't know why your having problems with the 2gig. I personally use a 1
gig and it does fine.

As for your 512g. It sounds like your not booting from a full fresh hard
reset of Windows CE. Hold down the power button while your press the reset
button. Then after the unit comes back up in Windows CE quickly click on
wililo.exe. If you wait any longer that a few minutes or open any other
applications, I seem to have the same problem you speak of and can not boot
Linux.

If your already doing it then I can't guess what is exactly wrong. Also you
might have better success with booting Linux if you make sure both bluetooth
and wifi is turned off. Some times I can't seem to boot into Linux and
making sure these are turned off seems to solve my problem.

What is or will be the relationship with angstrom
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/node/feed and maybe the openmoko
projects. I've only looked a little at openmoko an understand right know
they are really only work on the FIC device and as for angstrom I know it
is to new to do much yet, but are they going to replace openembedded or is
it just another embedded linux environment.

Just wondering.
