linux on amd's 50x15 PIC
i recently acquired a bunch of amd's 50x15 "personal internet communicator" (PIC)
it's remarkably useless and super locked down (i cannot access the bios, add/remove software, etc) it runs windows ce and has specific software and settings on it that you can't modify.
i am hoping to set up a media lab for common ground relief (a grassroots hurricane relief organization in new orleans) with these machines, but would like them to be much more customizable and open to the users, so i'd like to put linux on 'em.
there's no cd drive, and since i have no access to the bios i cannot tell it to boot from a usb pendrive. i can bust it open and take the harddrive out, but i am concerned that the kernel and programs wont compile correctly since it has a funky amd geode processor. does anyone have any suggestions on how i can go about this? i have found nothing on google that's pointing me in the right direction as far as getting linux on one of these PICs. any help or resources are much appreciated.
thanks
