+
+Installing netBook software from the PC
+=======================================
+
+It is necessary to install Psiwin, the PC-Psion communication software, before attempting to install the netBook software from the PC.
+
+The netBook comes with a full operating system, including a full set of built-in applications. An image of this OS is on this CD. Also on this CD is an image of an operating system without the built-in applications.
+
+These images can be installed on the netBook from the PC. To do this, ensure that the netBook and the PC are connected, and at the same baud rate - see the PsiWin documentation for details of how to do this. Remove all sources of power from the netBook (external, main battery, and back-up battery), and all CF and PC cards. After several seconds, return power to the netBook. The netBook will reset itself, and ask for either a bootable CF card to be inserted, or for the Rominst application to be started.
+
+To run the Rominst application, select the full or basic OS from the "System S/W" tab, and follow the instructions. The OS will take about twenty minutes to download, after which the netBook will automatically boot itself. Note  that the Rominst application contains a connection engine - PsiWin should therefore be shut down before attempting to run Rominst.
+
+It is also possible to install any of the built-in applications to the netBook. To do this, simply connect the netBook to the PC (and ensure that the baud rates are correct), and select the appropriate application from the "System S/W" tab. The application will be installed.
+
+Please refer to the Psiwin documentation in case of any difficulties.
+
+
+Installing netBook software from the CF card
+============================================
+
+It is also possible to install either the OS or any of the built-in apps by CF card. To install the OS from CF card,  first obtain a CF card with the correct OS image. Then, follow the netBook reset instructions above. When prompted, insert the bootable CF card.
+
+To install any of the built-in apps from CF card, insert the CF card (with the SIS file saved on it), and run the SIS file from the system screen.

+Psion netBook BootLoader.

+Psion MalayBook
+Version: 1.05 (281) – English (UK) – ASCII (Release 158)
+
+The MalayBook is a version of the Psion netBook with slightly different hardware and software.
+There's no official name for this model: it's also referred to as the E-Book, E-Buku (in Bahasa Malaysia), mNetbook, Mbook, or Schoolbook.
+Like the standard Psion netBook, the MalayBook runs the EPOC version 5 operating system.
+
+Several thousand MalayBooks were produced for use by students in Malaysia, in an experimental program to replace printed textbooks with netBooks.
+The project was a joint venture called One Ed Dot Com (formerly at http://www.one-ed.com.my), consisting of Ericsson (Psion's "local technology partner") and several public and private entities in Malaysia. 
+
+The differences between a MalayBook and a standard netBook seem to be limited to a different ROM chip which includes a different bootloader, and a slightly different OS.img (operating system version).
+The MalayBook bootloader will only load the MalayBook OS.img, not the standard netBook OS.img available from Psion or Symbian.
