Hi Ulrich,

hmm...at times...but the install kernel should work fine on a 712.
You could download the 0.92 version and steal the right kernel from that.

The team at ESIEE (http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/) put the ISO's together.
AFAIK it was tested on 712's, 715's, B180, B132, C3000, J5000 and A500.

I don't know since I haven't needed to change keyboard settings.
Can any other german keyboard user help?

The parisc-linux mailing list probably has the answer if you look for it.

Right.  As root:
	apt-get update 
	apt-get install ftpd
	apt-get install telnetd

I didn't see a rlogind package available.
The evil-minded debian developers I consort with have brainwashed
me into only using ssh and sshd.

Sorry - I don't know dbootstrap.

	debian:~# dpkg -S dbootstrap
	base-config: /usr/lib/base-config/0dbootstrap_settings

Might just need to apt-get the right package.

On 712's I think so..  I have to refer you to the parisc-linux Mail archive:
