Thinking abt installing intimate, but have some generic questions

Hi all,

     I have an IPAQ H3650 in which I have been running familiar 0.7.2
for some time. Since I'm running out of space in my flash, and I
require SSL supported browsers/email clients and stuff for my wireless
internet (the familiar installation for the above are really messy and
packages are buggy and broken) , I'm thinking of trying out Intimate.
I have a pcmcia expansion sleeve and have linked up my Ambicom
wirleless card (which works on familiar with the "hostap_cs" driver,
although I tested it on my friend's laptop in knoppix, and there it
ran on the "orinico_cs" driver, which failed to run the card in
familiar, go figure). I have a 256 mb compactflash card and a
CF-pcmcia adapter (it works in familiar) . I have a few questions and
I was hoping you guys could enlighten me.

I did read all the documentation in intimate.handhelds.org but noticed
that the site hasn't ben updated since 2003, so am wondering whether
the development-work on the OS is ongoing or stopped. Has it?

Is my hardware adequate to run intimate with KDE? The install-howto
said that 140 MB is minimum (mi cf is 256) but KDE requires another
200 Mb, should I get a 512 mb CF instead? I can, if necessary.

Thanks for your attention,
AR
