You will need two hard disks. dd the lifimage you get from ftp.parisc-linux.org onto one harddisk and then boot the parisc machine from that disk. Install on the other disk. It would be useful to check (via the "execute a shell" option) if the CD is readable by the OS. If so, it can be used as an install source. It's possible the CD is still readable but not bootable because the CD burning SW used might have mangled the .ISO data. hth, grant
