I also have an ipaq1940. When I set up communication between the ipaq and my linux desktop, I used both SynCE and a program called Multisync - both available from the sourceforge website.
Installation programs for the ipaq are windows executable files, so you may find yourself having difficulty there. I tried using the Wine project (a windows emulator for linux) however I was unable to achieve satisfactory results and gave up rather quickly. Not to say it isn't possible, however I felt it a waste of my time (easier to boot into windows and install). Synce comes with some software that can supposedly extract the .CAB files from the installation programs for the ipaq, I was unable to make those work either.
Perhaps your will have more patience and interest in making it work though ! good luck.
