not to my knowledge. 0.9.3 was due out just now, but there is trouble
with the toolchains, people have been warned to not 'apt-get update'
etc., so it's been delayed.

I think that most of your questions will be answered if you look in the
archives for this list - the first install is something all of us have
gone through. If it's not there, and not in the docs, feel free to ask!

I installed my C200 without a parisc-compile environment - you don't
need one. Just make sure your serial terminal is operational and you
have the right cable.

There have been some 'ultra-short' apt 'get started' instructions posted
to this list also. Again, browsing the archives is worth your while.

Good luck,
