Why? If you have an Archos 5 (which you bought primarily for media playback, right? Otherwise you'd be stupid, right?), installing OS2008 on it, if it were possible, would be a step back. Even taking into account the buggy nature of the Archos firmware.

Just keep the Archos, pay the Archos tax (I think they're now charging you rent for the physical space the device occupies in the spacetime continuum) and watch your movies at 800x480.
