[...] If the OP has a Compaq Ipaq and does not mind using Linux it seems to be possible to runs linux on the Ipaq and therefore it might conceivably be able to run R. http://www.ipaqlinux.com/ It is interesting this has come up at this time. Two days ago I installed Linux on a Psion 5MX (16Mb RAM) and am tickled pink by it. Installation is easy. At the moment I only have a small compactflash disk so I have not been able to install X windows or R yet. It runs debian woody. Linux is installed on the CF so it is actually a dual-boot machine---I have both the wonderful Psion software [why did they stop making them?] and can boot into Linux when I need it. When in Linux switching it on and off is instantaneous, just like any ordinary PDA. My ultimate aim is to have R, emacs, ESS and latex on it. Today I ordered a 1Gb CF disk and expect to get it in a week or two and I will let you know how I get on. Here's the howto: http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/howtos/series5mx/5MXHOWTO.htm Some screenshots: (there's one with emacs about half way down the page and octave and gnuplot at the bottom). http://www.openpsion.org/howtos/series5mx/5MXHOWTO/5MX_howto_11.htm -- David Whiting University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
