Hi all,

I would like to announce that some testing images of the Angstrom Linux 
distribution (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org) containing the Opie user 
environment version 1.2.3 are now available. For most devices, this is 
the first time Opie 1.2.3 has been available in a distribution in any form, 
and once testing and debugging has finished we hope that this will give 
access to Opie to more users.

If you have one of the following listed devices, we would love to hear 
feedback on how well it works for you:

 * iPAQ h2200 series
 * iPAQ h3900 series
 * iPAQ h4000 series
 * iPAQ h5000 series
 * iPAQ hx4700
 * Zaurus SL-5500
 * Zaurus SL-5600
 * Zaurus SL-C1000
 * Zaurus SL-C3000
 * Zaurus SL-C7x0
 * Zaurus SL-6000
 * Motorola A780
 * HTC Universal
 * Siemens Simpad (see note [1])

The central point for information is the following wiki page:

  http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/AngstromOpieTesting

>From there you can find information on how to download and run an image on 
your device as well as some known issues.

For devices above with PocketPC installed, there is an easy method of booting 
into Angstrom that allows you to boot from a card without completely 
replacing PocketPC - details on the page linked above.

Opie is now on the path to becoming a supported choice of environment within 
Angstrom, and we expect the testing period to last for at least a month, 
during which time we will be collecting information and fixing serious bugs 
where they are found.

We welcome all feedback, so if you can, please try one of the images and send 
your reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that this message is 
cross-posted so please be careful if you reply.

Thanks,
Paul


[1] There is an image available for the Siemens Simpad, but there is a bug 
preventing Opie from starting on this device - some help debugging this 
problem would be welcome (see 
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3681 for details).
