[iPAQ] Handhelds V0.20 Installation Instructions

Hi,

The instructions are very clear now. All worked without a hitch and I am
impressed with the results.

I have one question concerning the md5sums. When I checked these
after downloading (in Netscape using 'shift') the sums matched for the
bootloaders, osloader and kernel image, but none of the cramfs images
matched. I repeated the downloads a few times but still no joy. As the
critical files were ok, and as the cramfs images appeared to be valid
images I went ahead anyway and all was OK.

Is there something special about doing the check - I notice that a 'dd'
must be used for part of the WinCE check. If this also needs to be done
here, it would be a good idea to point it out somewhere.

(Actually I've just looked at the make-instructions.pl script in cvs, and it
seems as though a simple 'md5sum <filename>' is all that is required.)
Has anyone else got a problem with these sums?)

The images and md5sum files were downloaded from the links on the
installation instructions, so they definitely should be the correct ones.

The sums I got were:
init: 32b4022d68fb6586296a4cd90dca1969
root: 44d026df47dfd22e2d6fd5515e23bb38
usr: 0c62c19f443f557a4fd1eab94014940e

Hopefully no typos there...

Thanks,

Dave.
