I had installed Familiar linux (with GPE as the GUI) many moons ago.
It was a 3870 (with bluetooth - unfortunately neither bluetooth nor SD were
supported back then so I gave up). I could not install do anything over USB
back then. I had to plug in the serial port, and use a terminal application
to connect to the iPaq. Once I did that installing packages was a
breeze...of course I got caught up in dependency hell, but I eventually
figured my way out of it :-)
If you have access to a serial port, use the serial port. I think it's more
dependable than USB and it works for sure.
