[parisc-linux] Palo: how-to reinstall

[bame@riverrock.org]

There are a couple of possible problems.

If your disk is bigger than 2Gb you will need at least palo-0.89 to
initialize it on a 32-bit box.  palo-0.90 is currently in the debian
archive and is a good choice.

The palo -U (or --update-partitioned) is not well tested and may not work
at all.

The best way to use and re-install palo is to put the right commands
in /etc/palo.conf (be sure to read how to do this properly).  Then you
can simply re-run 'palo' at any time safely.  You can also re-run
the command you used to install palo the first time.

I hope you'll have better luck with palo-0.90!
