Thanks for your message, Lex.

Okay I am now only missing "initramfs-bootmenu-image-hx4700.cpio.gz". (The
startup.txt file was easy to find, but it was not set with the ".bootimage"
extension to the best of my memories).

What do you want to speak about when you say "the old Angstrom download
location"? I am only missing this file to make the live image.

Do you still have it?

Thanks for your help.

Hi -

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply - sometimes I forget to read my 
mail for a few days, and time drifts by..

The initramfs is .. oh.. you're right - where is it?  I remember that 
there's a cpio.gz image in the old Angstrom download location, and the 
startup.txt.bootimage is probably the HaRET startup file (guessing 
here).  I'll have a look at what I wrote about it before.  The following 
text is from my journal/diary, which I write in a MOO.  This is why it's 
a bit 'chatty'.  It's also old (it refers to the 2007 release).  I've 
written a bit more after this.

"The make-bootbundle.py script needs a kernel, initrd, script."
"As far as I can tell, I need to build a new bootmanager (.exe)."
"I'd use that with a filesystem loopback image.  This is NOT the
  liveramdisk thing, which is a kernel, bootloader and compressed rootfs 
in one file.  'r19' images are the latest."

...

"Good news: the boot bundle that I made (with make-bootbundle.py)
  starts, but the kernel doesn't boot."
"Looks like I got the command line wrong.  It also didn't log to
  serial console, so I need to check the startup script (passed to HaRET)."
"boot bundle = special version of HaRET, kernel, initrd"
"(http://osdir.com/ml/handhelds.linux.kernel/2007-01/msg00128.html)"
"startup.txt.bootimage = HaRET startup, gleaned from one of the
  ready-made boot bundles."
"(01:37)  Yippee!  Boot menu!"
"(01:39)  It's up!"
"It continued to boot, and up, it is!  Woo!"
"It says..."
"(Angstrom logo)"
"The Angstrom Distribution hx4700 ttyS0"
"Angstrom 2007.12-r19 hx4700 ttyS0"
"hx4700 login:"
"here is the command line that I used to make the boot bundle:"
"./make-bootbundle.py -o initramfs-test.exe haret-0.5.exe
  zImage-2.6.21-hh20-r21-hx4700.bin 
./initramfs-bootmenu-image-hx4700.cpio.gz
  ./startup.txt.bootimage"

Referring to this mail:

... I think that the 'startup.txt.bootimage' is the file created by the 
text between the 'EOF' marks - i.e.

# initramfs-bootmenu HaRET script
# (c) 2007 Paul Sokolovsky
msgbox "Attention!" "This will boot Linux. All memory will be
overwritten and hard reset will be required to return to Windows Mobile.

make backup)?" 0x40031
if result == 2 exit
