Okay.

Okay, my brother gave me a drive with an OS:

MkLinux for HP PA-RISC
Release 1.1 (Linux 2.0.32-osfmach3 on a hp_pa)

[root@lakestevens /root]# uname -a
Linux lakestevens 2.0.32-osfmach3 #45 Fri Nov 28 11:35:33 MET 1997 hp_pa unknown

Since my kernel date is Nov. 28, 1997 -- I assume this is the same as the
mklinux from this site. Anything newer?

Maybe I need to build a newer one myself?

http://www.mklinux.org/using_mklinux/index.html seems to be for mklinux on
a Macintosh platform.

http://www.mklinux.org/using_mklinux/index.html and
ftp://ftp.cirr.com/pub/hppa/mklinux/mkpa-rel.html have some notes about
"Building MkLinux".

It sure does. Thank you Brian.

(My main goal with this box is to learn how to port a BSD operating
system.)

Now to setup my thinlan so I can talk to it over the network ...
