[parisc-linux] Antwort: HP9000 K Class install howto

[JKonrad at linotype.com]

Hi,

was an error while unpacking the kernel. Unpacked it a second time - now the machine works. Thanks very much!!!!!

Unfortunately, it is not an smp-kernel, but nevertheless, the machine works!! Your howto is brilliant, the people should put this into official usage.

Greetings,

Jay

HI!

I am install debian wtih a k260 and k460 with this howto. it is work perfekt.
