Re: [iPAQ] Bootldr Cool....

Thanks!

As for sleeves working with a 3800, I got it to the point of it saying
something like booting initrd just before I sent the message to you, but
(of course) now when I go to do it to give you the output it refuses to
recognize the sleeve and errors on unrecognized kernel. Oh whell, I'm
just having fun drooling for the day of a dual-boot. :)

So don't mind my ramblings, there not questions, and i have no pushing
force. I'm just a guy killin' time with a Linux Ipaq who ocassionaly
shoots out a comment or perspective.

Anyways, I'll keep watching and playing. Keep kickin out the good stuff!
