effort. It will be updated periodically and will give you a
snapshot of the current state of Linux on the PA-RISC. For more information

News & Announcements
- Hardware Database updated.
- Matthew & Dave have substantially updated
the Hardware Database including correcting
the CPU types, adding new drivers, adding PCI devices and fixing some of
the ioscan output. If you have any machines running HPUX 10 or greater
which aren't listed, please submit your ioscans to the database.
- ELF work continuing
- Paul has put in a lot of work getting the ELF kernel booting. Once
more people have reported success with ELF kernels, we'll switch all
development over to ELF.
- RPMs and DEBs available
- Thanks to Dave O'Neill and Dave Huggins-Daines, we have
crosscompiling toolchains available from
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries for x86.
Does anyone want to produce .depot files for us?
CVS Page
