[parisc-linux] Debian hppa request install

[Karthik]

Hi Gurus,

I plan to install Debian hppa in 712/60. I hope to install the basic
packages with CD1 and later install other packages with "apt-get". Can
anyone confirm me if the following image is the correct one to start
with?

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/hppa/iso-cd/debian-31r0a-hppa-b=
inary-1.iso

1. Will it result in a minimum install system (with network)?
2. Is 96MB memory OK for debian installer to work?

Apologies if this question is too un-nerdish....

Many thanks...

yes - but 712/60 isn't exactly blazing fast.
But I do expect it to be fairly stable.
