Hello all, Well, I'm taking the plunge and (trying) installing linux on my iPAQ 3600 series PDA, but the directions on handhelds.org (http://www.handhelds.org/feeds/bootldr/install.html) mention that I need to use a serial cable/cradle to actually load the distro.
I've almost completed the section regarding loading the bootloader and it's now displaying the snazzy tux logo after a reboot, but now I need to somehow get it to a prompt so I can enter some commands in the term emu. Now, I'm thinking that I should be able to treat the USB port (ttyUSB0?) as a serial port for purposes of terming into it in linux (since my iPAQ doesn't have a serial cable/cradle). Does this seem whacked or should/could it work? I haven't actually tried it yet, but I did notice a kernel module for serial emulation in USB or something like that... As always...TIA for the assistance. Regards, Chris
