[iPAQ] Successful install

Well folks, I got my iPaq booting linux. (Thanks to
a few kind souls in #ipaq, I managed not to kill
the little sucker)

I have a few questions (and there are sure to be more
in the next few days as I play more).

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but why isn't /tmp
created on a ramdisk? It seems that something that's
used as a scratchpad for apps should probably not be
writing to flash (or does the filesystem handle /tmp
intelligently) all the time.

Anyhow, I'm totally psyched about getting it running,
and I still have to read the past messages to this group
before I started lurking last week. After that, I cant
wait to start mucking around and writing code. I'll
probably look to join an existing project (rather than
starting my own, and duplicating the work thats
going on).

Anyhow, thanks to everyone for the help, and hopefully
I'll be able to help out ;)
