[parisc-linux] B132L: Success and thanks!

[Aaron St. Pierre]

I have a J2240 and was able to dist-upgrade to sid without a problem. I
am still battling with being able to boot a custom built kernel, but I
haven't noticed any problems when running the stock kernel and unstable
distribution. 

It has been suggested to keep a version of gcc-3.0 around (gcc-3.2 gets
installed w/ sid ) and perhaps use that to build your kernels. 
I am not sure is this is a requirement any longer.
