RE: [jornada] Various Debian issues

Not too concerned about Dillo yet, just want to get the iBurst card
working first.

BTW, I have a step my step guide:
http://nexus888.homeip.net/720_image/720_howto-MyWay.doc (MS Word
document)

Which may be of use for people installing for the first time. This is
using an old IBM notebook/no hard drive and booting knoppix.

It's not the best way, basically I just wrote down the steps I went
through during an install.

This is using the Matthis image's which is enough to get a bootable
system running.

The Dillo issue is strange, it works with no problems for me (on the
debian sarge "testing" image). Also, maybe it would be good to put a
link to the sarge image on Rafael Diniz's page, together with debian
potato/woody images.
