In Qtopia and Openmoko folder there are just one cab file. All you have to do now is to install the cab file with just hitting it. You dont need to create a linux filesystem anymore, it will install to the wince partition on your SD card. It will create a 100MB file on the root of your SD card. When you dont want to have Linux on your device anymore you just uninstall it like you do with a wince application. Remember to install to the device. Not on SD card (even thuogh linux will install to SD card). The *-Linux application will appear where all the other wince programs appear. Just hit the icon and linux will install. Note the first boot will take some time because i Linux is beeing installed, but next time you boot it will boot alot faster. You are also able now to have multiple linux images on your device, since they will appear as Qtopia-Linux, Openmoko-Linux and so. For now i have only created easy installers for Qtopia and Openmoko but the rest will come.
Quick method to install using a linux computer
1) Make a vfat and a ext3 file system om your SD card (important ext3 partition has to be on the second partition)..
2) Extract the image (openmoko/gpe/x11/opie etc) to the linux partition (ext3) {tar jxvpf "image" ./}
3) Install the provided *.cab file you have downloaded to your HTC Universal. It will appear like this in WinCe (the icons my differ):(Screenshot).
4) Insert SD card and run Linux.
Note:
The first boot take some time because it generate locales and publish some gnome-vfs mimetypes.
The bootsplash can be aborted using [alt+left] (on the WWE it is "internet explorer button + left arrow").
Remember, this might break your device running this images (it has never happend), i am not responsable if something happends.
I just do this for fun, and i dont see the point of not sharing this.
