[TriLUG] Linux on Compaq Alpha

[Jon Carnes]

RedHat v7.1 installs nicely and updates to the latest packages.  RedHat 
v7.1 also has a great Appendix describing how to install to an Alpha box 
using MILO.

The Alpha boxes bios is designed to load an NT boot strap and MILO 
emulates the NT boot strap but loads up LILO - which in turn loads your 
Linux Kernel.

The first time you setup an alpha box it is a real p-i-t-a! but the Red Hat 
appendix walks you through the install step by step.

Good Luck

Jon
