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.....
