Is It Possible Install Damn Small Linux To Zaurus

Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution

maybe we can run DSL without SD card so it will be faster I think

you'd have to recompile everything and insert a different kernel,at the very least.  As far as i know, DSL is compiled for 386 only
**3100 Zubuntu Jaunty,(working on Cacko dualboot), 16G A-Data internal CF, 4G SD, Ambicom WL-1100C Cf, linksys usb ethernet,  BelkinF8T020 BT card, Belkin F8U1500-E Ir kbd, mini targus usb mouse, rechargeble AC/DC powered USB hub, psp cables and battery extenders.

There's no real point. DSL is optimized to run on old i386 hardware, much as distros like pdaX and Angstrom are optimized to run on the Z.
SL-C750- pdaXrom beta 1 (mostly unused)
Current distro: Gentoo
