I have also burnt the ISO-image from the french mirror
(http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr/archive/install/palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.gz)
and it works for me on a 712/80:

bash> md5sum palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.gz
8ec6565d49172302a39e844cea64c47b  palinux-0.9-32sti.iso.gz

I had some difficulties after the installation (with certain operations in
vi I could repeatably crash the kernel and I got kernel panics on bootup
when booting from harddisk), but both problems could be solved by using a
current cvs kernel instead.

The only problem I had with the installation itself was that the dialog
boxes looked a bit weird when using sticon.

HTH,
