I have a hp compaq t5000 internet terminal which is currently running Windows CE.NET: Version 4.20. I'm quite new to this but I believe it is running somthing called a ATA Flash instead of a harddisk drive, but I'm not sure. I've tried booting damn small linux (from a pendrive) but it can't boot into the gui its stuck on run level 3 (i think). These are its specs, and I'm just quoting the control panel>system from windows here: SYSTEM UUID: C82F8BCF-23E4-3E8B-D611-D35CA0B0A326 SERIAL NUMBER: CNV42803Z5 BIOS VERSION: 786W2 v1.10 RELEASE DATE: IMAGE VERSION: 4.21.053.1.8 PROCESSOR TYPE: TM5800 CPU SPEED: 733 MHz MEMORY SLOT1: 128 M FLASH MEMORY: 32 M Is there any version of Linux that can support that kind of Linux achitechure?

You can still run X with a few minor programs but you'll have to remaster DSL to shrink it or you can create your own distro from scratch. Another option is to use a Linux Terminal Server and boot the device via PXE. Some of these devices have the compact flash card glued or soldered to the motherboard so you may not be able to remove it. If you can boot off USB then you should be able to install and boot Linux off the internal flash card.

Follow UP, What I have concluded is that HP offers the t5000 in about 4 different flavors. I want to think the only difference is the OS that ships with the system. The version that I have is the t5520 and ships with Windows CE installed on a 64m flash. I downloaded the util to create the Linux image that ships with t5515, its a 32meg footprint. The system let me install the image, and boot. I get an HP logo screen and a scrollbar that just finishes and then the system just starts flashing the logo image 'entire screen', about.5 seconds on and 1 second off.

' Keystrokes don't seem to interpreted, but the keys do show up during the off cycle of the blink. If I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, the screen stops flashing, and I see the system unload the services 1 by 1 until it reboots. Looks like a normal Linux restart. Anyone have any ideas? Any key combination that I can hit that will stop the blink and allow me to get at the prompt?
