Sometimes the README.html is more up to date -- README is derived from it.

= i386 linux.

I master the CD and run palo on x86 Linux.  If you're using x86 to
cross-compile your Linux kernels you have the required palo binary
already.  Since the CD mastering software is probably not yet compiled
for palinux I think x86 Linux is your best choice.

= Also, the README needs a little bit of an update too I
= think, since we now have to pass console=[tty0|ttyS0] to palo.

The kernel command line is not specific to parisc and so the standard
Linux documentation should be used.  Palo's README does not duplicate
this information -- it should only document what's specific to palo
(kernel and ramdisk specifications) though I know it has a couple of
other things in there right now.
