RE: [jornada] Re: Pre-Built Images for 720

Well I'll find out shortly if the 2GB card works, no reason it
shouldn't. Price wise it was a lot cheaper than my 720. 720 was the most
expensive thing for me. $450AU for 720/cradle/3 batteries/charger/HP
leather case.

Wince is not much different to all the other attempts by Microsoft, my
smartphone (imate smartphone2) has cab files, there is a wrapper for
normal windows, but all it does is copy over the cab and run it on the
device, silly design deletes the cab on install, hence the read only
setting on the card.

Using the image when you issue a shutdown -r now, it shutsdown, but does
not reboot, meaning you need to go though the CE init process to get
back into linux. Failure to shutdown as I have found, results in the CF
ext2 partition requiring a fsck check manually, meaning that is 2
reboots to get back to where you started from.

Well for me, 2GB card is more expensive than Jornada itself.:) BTW: Does

2GB CF work in Jornada?

Wince has "cab" files?!

Could you describe more, what you mean with "rebooting does not work
with
image"?
