Hi there

 

I’ve been trying to get the Linux going on my iPaq and every time I press the joypad and reset I just get a picture of a Parrot on the screen and nothing else happens and it freeze’s. After transferring the program’s onto the iPaq and doing the Flash / Program bit, it lists all the files but nothing else happens and I have to press CANCEL to get back to the Welcome to BootBlaster 1.19 page to continue. It does give me a ‘You appear to have a valid Parrot Bootloader in flash’ when is press flash / verify though.

Can you please tell me how I can get past this stage? And once past this will I be able to sinc with my Outlook inbox which is on Windows XP?

 

Regards
