familiar + opie on ipaq 3970: awesome


i mean wow! i never dreamed this combo would be so mature. i installed familiar + opie yesterday on my ipaq and it works great. only glitch was that i couldnīt make a backup of my wince (i tried to copy it to my mac via usb&bt with missing sync, but it didnīt work. smaller files move fine). well, i wonīt be going back so it doesnīt matter.
if you are into linux and happen to have ipaq, go ahead. some of the documentation is oldish, and ipkg feeds were pointing to old servers. but you can find the correct ones from opie website.
so, i followed the instructions and installed bluez and gprs works fine with it. so far the only weird thing is that konqueror doesnīt display pictures. iīll have to look into that.
just wanted to say that both the familiar team and opien team have done some fantastic work. i hope i can contribute some day (gotta learn the basics first, iīm pretty green to linux)
