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:

apt-cache search rlogind returns rrlogind, rsh-server, and
krb5-rsh-server.  rrlogind is a spurious hit, so you have your choice
of kerborised or vanilla rlogin servers :-)

... of course, i only have sshd installed :-)

dbootstrap is part of boot-floppies, it is the program that you
interact with for the first stage of the install.  You can't rerun
that.

After the first reboot, for second stage install, base-config is
running.  You can run that again (/sbin/base-config), if you want
to.  If you are running a serial console, you might find base-config
has been removed, in which case apt-get install base-config.

You can dpkg-reconfigure <pkgname> if there is a particular
pkg you want to reconfigure.
