[parisc-linux] newbie question

[Sean Anaya]

Hi all,

I have acquired an HP Visualize C180-XP machine at work (first time I have
played with an HP unix box) and would like to install HP Linux on it. Since
I don't have access to another linux machine for tftpbooting it seems the
best way to install linux is to make a bootable CD. So my question is how do
I burn a bootable CD once I have everything that needs to be on the CD. I
have access to a CD burner/software on a windows machine, but I don't know
if that will work for an HP unix box. Any help or suggestions on a better
way to install linux would be greatly appreciated. I'm more familiar with
older Sun machines than I am with HP's.

Thanks,

Sean Anaya

First of all, you need a linux box to prepare the CD image
(with palo) and to generate a CD image. This image can be 
burned on a Windows box, as far as the burning program can
accept that.
