Is there a simple way to install the current version?

Hi there,

I've looked at the info on
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx4700Kernel and have been
trying to work out how to install this linux port onto the 4700, but
I've so far concluded its all too cryptic with important info jotted all
over this place, which means I can't work it out. I will understand if
you tell me to RTFM.

I think I need to;

*Run the bootloader* from the USB/Serial ; Bootloader
<http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx4700OriginalBootloader>doesn't
tell me how to do this. It tells me how to access the bootloader, but
not write anything other than dump something to an SD device using the
command /d2s/, and set the password. I was going to use an CF card,
and not a SD card. Perhaps the bootable CF card needs the password to
be set-to this so that some files on the card can interact with the boot
loader, but I still don't see how the hx4700 is told to boot from the CF
card.

*Copy the files to the CF card *; Copy current_release
<http://sdgsystems.com/pub/ipaq/hx4700/starterkit/current/> to a CF
card/ Edit some files accordingly. There are two ROMs listed v118 and
v119. Which one should be used & have I got a choice?

*Boot the system* ; I think this is a simple reset, but I still don't
see where the 4700 was told how to boot from the CF card.

A bit lost and not feeling very techie right now,
S.
