Ok, long story short, I'm trying to get linux on my jornada 720, and all I've got is a windows XP laptop. Someone directed me to
http://720degrees.org, which is great, BUT it's still over my head. Yes, I'm just that much an amateur at linux. I've managed to get a copy of Knoppix
(should I even use that?
) and checked for "errors" with the whole md5 thing. Now... I burn it onto a cd and somehow run linux on my computer, and partition my compact flash card with my computer running linux? If someone could give me details on just how it is I'm supposed to run linux on my computer from a cd, and what exactly is required in partitioning a compact flash card for linux, I would be eternally grateful. Until then, I'm going to keep reading
http://720degrees.org and acting like I know what it's saying...
Whoever responds to this, thank you in ways you will never know
