Hi,
I would like to have a clear description of the booting process from haret to linux.
I tryed it many times using the "guide" from the handleds.org directory but haret keep crashing when loading the opie image on WM2003SE.
I'm a student in computer science and could then use some of my free time to work on the project.
Thx, VoDk1c3
