Hi all,

I have acquired an HP Visualize C180-XP machine at work (first time I have played with an HP unix box) and would like to install HP Linux on it. Since I don't have access to another linux machine for tftpbooting it seems the best way to install linux is to make a bootable CD. So my question is how do I burn a bootable CD once I have everything that needs to be on the CD. I have access to a CD burner/software on a windows machine, but I don't know if that will work for an HP unix box. Any help or suggestions on a better way to install linux would be greatly appreciated. I'm more familiar with older Sun machines than I am with HP's.

Thanks,

First of all, you need a linux box to prepare the CD image (with palo) and to generate a CD image. This image can be burned on a Windows box, as far as the burning program can accept that.
