The installation is pretty straightforward if you installed Openzaurus
before. Just rename updater.sh.poodle to updater.sh,
zImage-2.6.20-poodle-<date><number>.bin to zImage.bin and
Angstrom-x11-image-test-<date>-poodle.rootfs.jffs2.bin or
Angstrom-console-image-test-<date>-poodle.rootfs.jffs2.bin to
initrd.bin, then copy the three files to your CF or SD card and flash
the Zaurus like you were used to.

Having said that, I would stick to Openzaurus for the moment if you own
a poodle. Because of a bug that prevents your poodle to resume from
suspend (http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2120) Angstrom is
right now pretty much useless.
