I would like to install a version of Ethereal on an HP Ipaq running Windows CE. Is there an installation package that will allow me to use Ethereal with Windows CE??? 

Probably not.
1) Ethereal uses the GTK+ toolkit, not the native Windows toolkit, for display; I don't know whether GTK+ for Windows works on Windows CE.
2) For capturing, Ethereal uses WinPcap; there exists source to a version of WinPcap that might work on Windows CE:

(look for "Windows CE" on that page), but I don't know whether it works, and,a s far as I know, nobody's ever built Ethereal to use it.
3) I don't know what other limitations Windows CE has that Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0/W2K/WXP/WS2K3 don't have and that might prevent Ethereal from running.
I have never worked with Windows CE, much less with Ethereal on Windows CE. I don't know whether anybody's ever done any work trying to get Ethereal to work with Windows CE.
