Hi Phlipp and Paul,

I've got a "recent" hx4700 I'm going to convert to Linux.
I was kinda hopping following this :
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx4700OriginalBootloader

Unfortunately handhelds.org is down. Would either of you have kept a copy or
notes that could help me :
 - backup the old WinCE (d2s bootloader command or something along these lines)
 - install the booloader that enables uploading and booting a kernel on the
 USB/SD card.

Cheers.

Have you tried web.archive.org? It seems to have retained a snapshot:

Thanks Florian, that helps.

I still have the question which lacks an answer : how are you all uploading your
kernels to the hx4700 on the fly ? Do you have a "trick" to make usb (ymodem or
usbnet) work ? Are you using SDGSystems bootloader or another one ?

Or put it simply : how did you do to maintain the hx4700 and try new kernels ?

Cheers.
