i am a very experienced programmer with more then 12 langs. under my belt. i have extensive experience with embedded computers (ppcs, nas boxes, routers, that sort of thing).
i am currently developing custom firmware for hte hp mediavault (an embedded nas box based off of the broadcom broadnas BCM4785) and i can tell you it is more then a "small favor" to port/recreate an firmware image. i have spent literally hundreds of hours trying to find workarounds for moduals in the soure tree that haven't been gpl'ed (they apper as executables in the tree). and this is talkign about little bits of code here and there that are closed source. the popel who want to mod a wm6 image to work on an x5XX are talking about modding a COMPLETELY closed source image.
so, unless you want to...
+shell out thousands of dollars on a wm6 devel kit
+spend hundreds of hours _trying_ to mod a image to work on a device that wasnt intended to use it
+brick your device a few hundred times over
you aren't going to get anywhere.
and the funny thing is, you wont get anywhere anyway. the x5XX was not intended ot have the wm6 image installed on it in the first place.
im also tired of idoits posting about how it would be "easy" to get a full installation of windows xp to run on the x5XX.
both arent possible.
so, lets recap.
unless you...
+have extensive experience working with the internals of embedded computers
+know at least 12 programming langs
+have developed at least one firmware image
then dont even bother tryign to argue with me.

Hey BAF, did you program the spell checker yourself?
I'm not even going to comment on grammar, punctuation or capitalisation.
