Post Install OS on Symbian?? Possible??


I have a Nokia 5700 Xpress Music. I want to install some OS(WIN 95 or some old one) on it. I have heard this is possible. Is there any Linux OS which can be used on Symbian?
Can you give me some pointers for doing so??

Don't think its possible to install win95.
Maybe DOS which some have done on their linux phones.

Nope you can't. Tho you can run some emulators. But you can't just directly flash the eeprom and load it with another OS altogether.

u cant install any OS on top of the Symbian OS.wats floating around the net r basically flash presentations of the others OS UI.i've flash files 4 Android and Kubuntu (touted as linux for s60).

AFAIK its possible to install the most primitive version of WM in ROKR E6 but its risky to do such things.

I tried that Krazy, but it's just the Interface and nothing else.
Any other thing I can emulate?? Not just flash file??
