Re: [jornada] jornada and Xwindows

Thanks for the detailed info, Matthis!

>From looking at that website, I see you need to install the loader, kernel,
and initrd first, then install Debian....

Don¹t have a Linux PC box right now...so only I have to partition CF card
per webpage is my little Zaurus SL-C3000...having problems for some unknown
reason partitioning card....need to get that sorted out first.....always
something.... ;-)

Will let you know how it goes....

BTW, I did get Debian running on my little Z, works great, but small
display... ;-)

Regards,

Mark
