0.9.3 is rather dated now, so Debian 3.0 is a better choice.  You'll see
www.parisc-linux.org has been updated in the last day.  Debian 3.0 ISOs
have a 2.4.17-pa32 kernel, so there may be machines where a newer kernel
would be better.  In that case, you could look in
<ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/cd-images/testing/auto-isos/> where you'll
find some unofficial, lightly tested, smaller (70MB) images with recent
kernels.
