Hello all !!!
How can I connect my PA-RISC to the network with the CD-Image Version of
the PA-RISC Linux.

Thanks for replies,

Yes and no.

Yes in that nfsroot works.
One can also ping the parisc-linux host.
So the kernel/lan driver seems to work fine.

No because networking userspace needs more work or something.
Read the README on the CD for known bugs.
Did I hear you volunteer to fix those?
:^)

The kernel on the CD has no bootp stuff because unless you're
on a network that serves a bootp record the boot hangs -- which
didn't seem a good idea!  But this also means the network comes
up unconfigured.

Use ifconfig and route as you normally would on a Linux box to
configure the network.
