Would a C110 be ok? How 'bout a 715/50? Due to the PDC interface being enough to get us to a bash prompt without deciding on a single machine / machine group, any machine that does what the PA1.1 docs say should be useful atm. I think (this is just my personal plans and might very well change soon) we'll boot using a ramdisk loaded by the bootloader with the kernel. This means you need a dedicated Linux disk, and probably a HP-UX disk to write diskimages to the Linux disk. > Also, could we put together a newbies task list? Stuff that needs to be I think we don't have any of the typical boring repetitive tasks to let newbies do atm. The basic task is to get the kernel working and there's a list for things needed (though not up-to-date) somewhere on www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc. Philipp Rumpf
