The compressed ISO image is available at: ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/cd-images (inside HP) http://debian.fc.hp.com/cd-images/ The conference CD contains a snapshot of our FTP site, but if you have access to FTP there's no reason to download a huge CD image with another copy of the FTP site in it, so I didn't put the CD image containing the FTP mirror on puffin.external.hp.com. I've attached the README from the CD because everyone should be aware of the WARNING/DISCLAIMER stuff. -Paul Bame Welcome to PA/Linux Developer's Release Version 0.1 - Snapshot 2000/08/04 --------------------------------------- This CD presents a snapshot of the work porting Linux to PA-RISC processors. The CD boots on HP 9000/712, A-180, and B-180 and possibly other HP PA-RISC computers. It contains a minimal set of cross-compiled user space programs. In addition to the bootable image, this CD contains cross compilers, source code, and documentation. You can also use it to initialize a bootable PA-RISC hard disk from this CD. Since progress never stops, by the time you read this it will be out of date, so check out http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/ for the latest. *** WARNING *** This is only a snapshot of development in progress. The purpose of the user space programs at this point are to, 1) stress and break the kernel, which they do (as you'll probably find out) 2) become the base build environment under which we can start building a "real" Linux distribution. 3) NOT to have a "correct" or secure or pleasing user space since that's what we'll soon have through building a real Linux distribution. Contents - - -------- Since this CD is also a bootable filesystem the layout of the CD reflects that. In all the normal system directories (like /bin, /usr, etc) you'll find PA/Linux userspace binaries and other system files. In addition to the normal directories there are a few additional files and directories; README - This file README.INSTALL - Instructions for initializing a bootable PA/Linux harddisk. mirror/ - A mirror of ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/ See mirror/README for contents and details Errata - - ------ Not all userspace apps function correctly. Here are some problems we know about, - - - Ctrl-C doesn't work - - - ping only handles 1 packet, and then it hangs your machine - - - Lots of debug messages come out of the kernel -- don't worry about it. - ------- End of Forwarded Message ------- End of Forwarded Message
