Hi,

After months of hesitation, I have finally decided to switch from
PocketPC2002 to Familiar Linux on my Ipaq 3850.
(Due also to a good article in a french Magazine : Linux Magazine
  Num.53, september 2003)

I have downloaded BootBlaster_1.18.exe and bootldr-2.18.01.bin then
managed to save the original bootloader, wince and asset.

Before going futher (flashing the new bootloader), I want to make sure :

- that the bootloader I downloaded is the right one and have no Pb
   with my 3850 (there are more recent bootloader in the download area)

- that familiar + Opie or GPE will fit on my 64Mo Ipaq (I have no
   additional memory card)

Is the downloading of familiar via serial connection to my Linux host
feasable or should I make the effort of setting up an USB connection ?

Also, I have pb deciding witch of GPE or Opie to try...

Thank you for the good documentation on the site. I am sorry to ask
these questions but it is still unclear to me.

Jean-Michel.
