Title: Can a Zaurus run other Operating Systems?
Post by: Fire-Armor on November 17, 2003, 09:02:26 pm

Hello, I was wondering is it possible to install different operating systems on a Zaurus C760 for example like instead of running Linux, I run Palm OS or Window Mobile?

If you can do this does anyone have a step by step as I am willing to try it on my C760...
Also where can you download a rom image for other operating systems for a PDA ?


Thanks...

Nope, not unless you license it so from Microsoft/PalmSource. Not unless you are a truly wizardly hacker, anyway.

Well, I\'m sure someone could port BSD to the Zaurus, but why?
