Basically, as I see it now, the order of ceremonies goes something like this: 1. Connect serial cable from PC to D330. 2. Set up NFS and bootp servers on PC. Configure things. Put right files in right places. 3. Boot D330 from network. 4. Run fdisk. Blow away HP-UX partitions. 5. Smoke big self-congratulatory cigar at the death of proprietary UNIX. 6. Make sensible Linux partitions being sure that / is below 2G on the first disk and that PALO has a 16MB partition at the beginning of said first disk. 7. Format partitions. 8. Unpack tarball. Apt-get stuff. 9. Reboot, observing wondrousness of Debian Linux. Does that sound reasonable? Peter. -- Peter Whysall peter.whysall@ntlworld.moc The TLD in my email address is sdrawkcab.
