Hello Thomas, Helge, Jo=EBl and everyone!

Here I am opening again that old thread. Ok. We had here a B180 with a
broken 8GB hard disk inside and nothing but a 4GB hard disk to fix it. =
So
we have fix the B180 and, as our software needs at least 8GB to run, I
though we could use this WS for testing purposes... with PA-Linux. So I=

installed the "Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 prerelease "Woody" - Unofficial hpp=

Well, It's running smoothly... but i need to run also the XFree86... an=

So X can work on a B180. Question is... How I do this?

Well, It's not a case of life-or-death, as we still can use HP-UX 10.20=

this machine... but I'm the only Linux-supporter in my department, and =
so
it'd be a score to get this machine working with Linux.

Thanks in advance.
