You are correct. RH-7.2 which is maintained by Compaq/HP does work on the 
DS-15, but you will need to use the wrapper CD for the installation.  I know 
this person wants to use Debian, but I suspect the quickest method for him 
would be to install RH_7.2, then pull out the DS-15 specific bits from the 
kernel, then make new kernel, etc.....
