Pocket PC Install

Hello,
I hope this link is still good. I have a ipaq 3835. I bought it from a classmate at college. The issue that I am having is Linux is installed on it. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. I have it installed on two of my PC's. But, most of the software I want to use on the ipaq is for the Pocket PC. I tried to use the information from your website but I am not having any success. I sent the ipaq back to HP for them to flash the ROM and they told me the ROM was corrupt. And it would cost over $ 200. to replace the board. That is more than I paid for it. And I don't understand how it can be corrupt if Linux still runs on it. It boots to Linux just fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You,
David Vaughn

Well, our set of instructions are here:

If you can't follow them, then I would suggest trying to
find someone in your 
local area that can and get them to do it.

They clearly don't know anything about Linux on iPAQs and
don't care to know. 
Which is a shame, really.
