Hey,

I wanted to install it on my SL-5500, and I managed to install
angstrom on it, following instructions at
http://www.purple.dropbear.id.au/angstrom_pre_release_on_collie_sl-5500_with_sd_card

I used zImage-2.6.20-collie-20080130231517.bin and
        console-image-collie.jffs2 as initrd.bin.

It runs fine, but in console. How can I install opie on it? I didn't
find an opie rootfs to use as a new SD RootFS.

Thanks for your help
