However, I don't have any of the usual methods of installing software (I have no bootable CD-ROM, no tape, no network (without linux - chicken and egg problem). Hwever, I *do* have a SCSI disk and a linux-x86 box onto which I can mount this disk temporarily. What I'd like to be able to do is to dump a disk image onto this disk, then transfer it to the 735, and boot from there. Is this possible? Is there a disk image somewhere I can use for this? Alternatively, can I build a bootable disk manually on the SCSI disk from the x86 box? If I do this, what do I need to do? I tried to do the instructions on the "Installing PA-RISC Linux" page, however I couldn't mount the "f0" type partition (for obvious reasons), even if I had known what to put there once I had. Any help greatly appreciated at this stage, Cheers, Matt van de Werken.
