Well, I donno about instructions for the 5500, but the comparison of 
installation ease and success between Angstrom and pdaXrom was night and 
day for me.

I have been told that it is "nearly" impossible to brick a Zaurus 
through software alone, but...   I nearly succeeded trying to install 
the latest pdaXrom.  I found the files needed to restore the Sharp rom 
from http://www.trisoft.de.  With that I was able to try again, and 
again...  But it looks like there is nothing for the 5500.  Before you 
proceed, try to find backup Sharp roms, since installing Angstrom will 
overwrite it.
