This page contains information about the 2.6 Linux Kernel for the Sharp SL-6000 PDA.
Patches are available here. The patches are managed by patcher. The best way to compile a kernel using these patches is to use the openzaurus-2.6.xx.bb file in OpenEmbedded. The correct sequence for applying the matches is maintained there.
