Although I've never run Debian hppa myself ... The hppa architecture is already part of testing, which is a good sign that it's achieved some degree of maturity in terms of having 80-90% or so of the archive built for it. It also has a functional set of boot-floppies for woody. Beware this, though: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2001/debian-hppa-200110/msg00120.html ... so it might be best to wait a while, or use one of the released CD images at http://www.parisc-linux.org/ rather than going for woody directly. That web site will probably provide most of the documentation you need. There's also http://www.debian.org/ports/hppa/. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
