I'm very interested in trying Angstrom on my Zaurus SL6000 (tosa).
However, I
rely on this machine as a day-to-day PIM

Currently, I'm using OZ 3.5.4.1, with altboot and the OZ installation on
an SD
card.

Is it possible to install Angstrom on a different SD memory card, using
altboot to run the Angstrom code from the SD card, without reflashing the
Zaurus?

This would allow me to test Angstrom, provide feedback for the development
process, yet easily switch back to my OZ3.5.4.1 distro in order to access
my
calender (KOPI), password storage (zsafe), etc.

Thanks,

Mark


I am currently doing something like that with my poodle. I have a custom
2.6.17 kernel that changes the location of / from flash to SD and use that
for my daily usage. I also have a second SD Card with Custom Angstrom
kernels, again modified to boot from SD. In flash I have a console-image
with kexec-tools installed. The kernels are stored on /boot of the
respective SD cards. To boot the card, I just kexec -l the kernel and run
kexec -e to boot.

I hope this helps,

Henry
