I would like that any others who have installed Linux on their evo400cs to contribute suggestions and experiences. I'll try these out, and incorporate them (with acknowledgment, of course) into the main text of this mini-HOWTO. In this section, I'll summarize and quote many of the ideas that I have not had a chance to try personally yet (my apologies if I leave anyone out inadvertently). The contributors of each suggestion are probably the best resources if you have questions. I would appreciate a copy of your correspondence to me so that I can update the information here as appropriate.
Extra special thanks to Marcus Meissner, from the Caldera mail list which helped me a lot with the installation issues. Compaq Evon N600cHOWTO. I found very useful information in it.
