Does anyone know if CE.NEt can be made to run on an existing netbook pro running the symbian OS? At present, the OS is loaded from a CF card .... which gives me the idea that CE.Net can be made to run likewise.

I do like my netbook but the limitations of Symbian means that it is gathering dust ... and I do not want to fork out for another machine if I can find way to run CE.net on it.

Bish,

I'm sorry to report that it cannot be upgraded. The CPU and ram requirements, hardware are substantially different. CE is a lot more demanding.

hi,

i don't think that's the problem. netbook (i don't think it's a netbook pro as that already runs ce.net) has 32 or 64 MB ram, and a 191 mhz strongarm cpu. i'm still not sure about the possibility of upgrading, though, not because of the hardware, it just can be complicated.. but maybe not impossible!

Have you considered running linux, it may be your best option as it is propobly more supported than CE.net. The website address is http://www.netbook-linux.org/. Another website is http://staff.washington.edu/dushaw/psion/openpsion/.
