Familiar Installation
Okay, this is what I did to install Familiar, a Linux distro for PocketPC. First what I needed was a serial program like ‘minicom’, and for xmodem upload capabillities I needed ‘lrzsz’. So under debian you do on your PC:
-
apt-get install minicom lrzsz
Then you go to this page and follow the instructions realy good!! Familiar v0.7 Installation Instructions. It is possible that there is a newer version but the instructions are the same. Please keep this in mind: Installing the bootloader is a very important part! This is the only part you have to be carefull to keep your iPAQ alive! The rest can be repaired very easaly, but when you mess up your bootloader you can turn your iPAQ into a ‘brick’. (Don’t be scared, just be carefull!)

Updated/downgraded to Woody (Debian stable)
Only to use Quanta 3 I downgraded my laptop from Sarge to Woody, but not without manny shit! But I’m online again. To use KDE3.x on Woody, I used this in my sources.list ‘deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde stable main’ And then apt-get update, and apt-get install kdebase quanta… And there we have quanta 3 ;-) AIAIAI
