[parisc-linux] PDC firmware revision FAQ update

[parisc-linux] PDC firmware revision FAQ update

[Grant Grundler]

Hi folks,

The issue of PDC/firmware revs came up locally and sounded like a FAQ.
I added

    "10. How can I check if the PDC (firmware) revision is the latest?"

and what I knew/could find to our FAQ at:

	http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq.html

The new FAQ entry should be visible to the world in the next hour or so.


    **** WARNING ****
    Firmware upgrades can *kill* your machine!
    **** WARNING ****

Don't do it just because. Read the FAQ carefully. Take the
time to figure out why you might need the upgrade and expose
yourself to this risk.

grant

ps. please don't ask me why your favorite machine's PDC isn't listed.
   I don't run the referenced sites.

Is the web server at www.parisc-linux.org down?  Can't seem to connect from
San Diego.

Yes. Linuxcare is having some <cough> DNS problems right now and
they host that site. Any forecasts on when that will be back up?

Well, it looks like our DNS issues are fixed... the site should be
accessible now.
