[ale] linux on pa-risc other then debian

[Mike Panetta]

Thats exactly how I got debian up and running on my VME system (68060 based).  Except instead of a CD Image, I did a net install.  Debian is the only Linux Distro (that I am aware of) that supports strange hardware like a VME BUS based computer.
