RE: [iPAQ] Intimate questions

Yep.. intimate will work via NFS

> -how does the installer handle this ?

At the moment, the installer dosen't handle this, but the workaround is
fairly simple... Just run the installer, and only answer 'yes' to the
intimateboot package right at the end of the installer. (Last question it
asks). This will get you ipaq into a state, where it will be able to boot an
image from NFS if it finds one. You then need to untar the the image to your
NFS location.

You'll still need to set you iPAQ up for the NFS stuff.. The
linuxrc.intimate (
http://intimate.handhelds.org/installer/linuxrc.intimate ) will just try to
'mount /mnt/nfs' and see if it can find /sbin/init on the mount... You have
to set up the network side yourself so that 'mount /mnt/nfds' will work. (I
can't give more help on this... I haven't used intimate over NFS myself)

Somebody (catch23) is writing the doc at the moment. I'll post to this list
once it's completed.

It's on the download page. http://intimate.handhelds.org/download.shtml
You'll be wanting the intimate20010622.tgz file.
