Palmtop NetBSD

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the small-installations dept.

BSD Forums writes "'Of course it runs NetBSD.' NetBSD is fantastically portable, but that doesn't make it supremely easy to install on oddball hardware like a Dreamcast or a palmtop computer. Michael Lucas demonstrates cross-installation with the HP Jornada."

    People have done similar installations on Windows CE devices for awhile. For example, I run NetBSD 1.6 on my IBM z50, also with a 512MB Compact Flash card. The only difference is that this installation was done entirely from a NetBSD mothership while I installed from a FreeBSD ftp server I set up.
