Q: (Jon_J) Can "pdaXii13-custom.tgz (patching only)" be used on a pdaxii13-akita5.3 installation to update it to pdaxii13-akita5.3.2 ?
A: (from a post by Meanie)
upgrading works for all versions (of course you won't get the new apps installed which you need to install yourself)
hdimage-custom.tgz != pdaXii13-custom.tgz

Q: What is the pdaXii13 boot sequence on a C3000?
A: (from a post by Meanie)
pdaXii13 boot sequence...

The boot and startup process on pdaXii13 Spitz is a bit different from the standard pdaXrom because of its small flash:
1. load kernel from NAND
2. read and mount NAND partitions
3. load /sbin/init interceptor from rootfs on NAND
4. initialize and mount MicroDrive
5. pivot rootfs to MicroDrive
6. execute /sbin/init from MicroDrive
7. initialise core hardware
9. mount internal filesystems
8. load kernel modules
10. load inittab and rc subsystem
11. run rc.local
12. run scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d or /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
13. /etc/rc.d/init.d/local is run from either rc3.d or rc5.d
14. start X if runlevel 5
15. if using openbox/matchbox (default) load mb-applet-tasks
16. task applet will run /home/root/.matchbox/autoexec
17. once X is exited, console login is loaded
18. /etc/issue is displayed
19. when reboot is issued, scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d are run
20. /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt is last script to be run before reboot
