I have the hp cd now with the various rpm files (NUE-1_1, NUE_FS-1, SDI-0_94 & SKI_LINU). I have a reasonable amount of experience in Linux from the x86 viewpoint, but I would like to understand IA-64. So, I would appreciate a few pointers on how to get started. Do I try to rpm install these on a X86 system, probably not. I don't yet know how to get an IA-32 system up and running. My naive attitude from this vantage point is that an X86 computer can be an IA-32 system, but perhaps I am completely offbase to start with. Assuming I can use one of my existing computers to learn how to do IA-32 and IA-64 work, what is the series of steps. And please set the verbose switch for the answer. Charles Krinke
