Re: Booting debian on ES45 (Titan / Privateer)

[George France <france@handhelds.org>]

Hello Carlos,

I would suggest that you use RH-7.2 for Alpha on the ES45.  The ES45
has been tested with that distribution.  I do not believe that the Debian
kernel has all the bits for the ES45.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
