OK guys, this is it...!
I've devoted so much of my time for this project... lots of wasted job hours, please appreciate...
If someone has mrobes/accessories/parts (even non-working ones) he can send me and contribute to my research, please let me know!

After installing all of the following stuff, you'll hopefully have a fully working linux GUI environment.
There is no need for the voltage converter for normal usage.

USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
------------------------

Repartition you HD, and have an ext2 partition at the end of it.

the svg for loading it all up:
http://mrobe.fan.googlepages.com/mrobe_linux_svg.zip

the bootloader & kernel:
http://mrobe.fan.googlepages.com/mrobe_ ... mrb_v1.zip

the rootfs : (it contains OPIE - friendly GUI env.)
http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/ ... fs.tar.bz2

and overwrite the following /etc files:
http://mrobe.fan.googlepages.com/mrobe_ ... nittab.zip
(they assume that the ext2 partition is physically placed at the end of the HD).

Good Luck!

Shirour
