Windows CE and linux noob:

Hey all, new here.

I recently got a basic IPAQ, nothing fancy, just a screen with a pen I s'pose. Upgrading soon.
My question is this: How do I remove the WinCe office products from the OS? It really isn't something I use. Mainly use IPAQ for games, ebooks, translators, wifi and the like. I've looked at different operating systems but don't know much about linux.

Feedback appreciated

Hi!
Welcome to Pocketpc Addict.
My question to you also is why do you want to removed the Mobile Office on you device even though that your main for it is for games and reading ebooks?
The answer is i dont think you can removed or uninstall Mobile Word, Excel, Notes if that is what you want. This is part of the OS that is is the ROM of your pocket pc.
Besides you need this like when installing a new application or games you might need a program to read the instructions or manual for it.

Welcome to Pocket PC Addict Godsbane! Unforunately the programs that come on your Pocket PC are part of the ROM which cannot be removed. And Murduck is right, you might need these programs sometime down the line...

Ok, good point, the thing is I wanted something fresh. Ie: Linux: Surely I would've been able to read manuals and help files using that os?

anyway. well if its on the rom and permanent well ........hit shappens.

I've been downloading and surfing all sorts of apps, wififofum and the like and I'm really impressed with what can be accomplished with the pda.

i suppose the reason why I wantedd to remove the os additions was so that I'd have more space:
Problem:

Its a HP 1930 Ppc.
it has nothing but infrared and I've been wondering If I should either invest in memory card or wificard. the latter being used for surfing naughty pics in coffee shops while i'm supposed to be entertaining clients.... (well not really but you get the idea.)
Anyway. either I use the slot for memory and have naught more that a pda that plays arvale 2 or I get wifi and surf anything anywhere ( yes southafrica is about 6yrs behind but they comming up slowly.)
is there any way I could increase onboard capacity or could both cards be used just by swopping them out while the pda is off?

My other question is this: if I had female to female usb cable would my IPAQ be able to connect via usb to lets say a (no power required) protable laptop harddrive?
It connects via usb to my pc and is my portable storage device for music vids and the like.

would be nice to have a pda with a 20gig hdd attached.

thanks for the previosu feedback guys.
Later.
G.
