How do I go about putting OS3.5 on my Palm V which has 8MB RAM and has
FlashPro. I want to test OS3.5 with a couple of my apps.
Cheers!
Kevin

There's probably a difference between "Haven't noticed any" and "this is
perfectly
100% safe to do". My guess is that you're riding the edge, and OS 3.5 uses
a little more RAM than OS 3.3/3.1 did. I know there's a known issue with
some sort of log growing 1-2K with each reset. You'll have to search the
archives to find it.
