Yes, my intention is to build a simple IPL for HPPA/Linux. It is a good idea to utilize the HP ISL to get started, but eventually I think we should not rely on any HP code. That way, people can "cold install" HPPA/Linux on a fresh disk and never worry about seeing or using any HPUX ugliness. In any case, until I get an IPL working, we can get a lot of work done with HPUX ISL as you mentioned.
