Please note that the guy doing these has run out of space and they are
starting to get quite old. I have in another place (
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/debian-cd/3.0-pre2/ ) some newer images, and
a pre-release for the actual woody images. I know there has been a few
bugs here and there, but I don't know of any hppa-specific.

Otherwise, I would suggest looking at the ftp.parisc-linux.org mirror I
have, there are some isos around there too, and they are probably better
tested for parisc-functionality. There is also a fairly small one for
doing netinstalls in that directory.

Personally, I don't have any experience in doing cd boots though. I have
only done netboot installs. (Setting up bootp+tftp and give it the
lifimage in the boot-floppies directory.)
