That's a WinCE question, so I'm not qualified to answer.
But: once Francois-Rene gets finds out what device
is corrupting the low regions of RAM, and
we can turn that device off, the WHOLE of the Jornada's
memory will be accessible to Linux. This implies that
there will be no safe spot for WinCE to hide in while
Linux is running, so any Startup folders you set in WinCE
will be wiped out by Linux.

A much better question you should ask is "when are you
going to make the power button work in Linux, so I can
put my Jornada to sleep instead of killing the kernel?"
I dearly wish I had an answer.

How soon indeed. On today's digest I saw a reference to
OpenZaurus - need to look that up, may solve the webbrowse
question. As for sound ... I don't know for sure where
the sound hardware is on this machine, although I have a
shrewd guess that it may be hiding behind the MCP device.
