Beta CD

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of creating a new Beta CD for Linux on PA-RISC. Currently the CD will include the following:

All the latest Debian packages
Slightly modified Debian base as / (this is because standard debian
expects r/w root environment)
Cross-compiling tools for x86
READMEs, etc.. to help bootstrap Linux on a PARISC system.

If there is anything you think should be on it, please send me some suggestions. I can't promise they'll all make it, but I'll see what can be done.

- Paul

PS: This will be an online ISO image release only.

Paul,
Is the intent here to collect experience for a "Beta II" CD?

If not, would you consider publishing a pre-beta ISO and include early feedback on:
o which machines it's intended for and which it's known to work on
o known bugs (not fix them all...just list them)

...

TODO list from our status page?

That makes sense given how fast things are changing still.

thanks,
grant
