First time booting Linux on my Palm TX

This is a progress report for the project Reware, about building new firmwares for old devices. The SD card is a standard SD card, I just copied cocoboot, a Linux kernel, and a root filesystem image to the card. Then I ran the cocoboot Palm app to boot it.

This is part of my project Reware to make easy-to-use, easy-to-hack images for PDAs, iPods and other old devices. You can find out more here:

The music is "Untitled 1" by Melodium, on their "Hum hum & bla bla ep".

which linux are u using

[purecanesugar]

This one is an Opie distro from OpenedHand. Now we are using a custom linux distro built using OpenEmbedded, like openmoko, poky, angstrom, etc. Its mostly angstrom, so you could probably call it angstrom.
