>If you are planning to run Linux on a standard Alpha based system, then
there are pre-built "standard" MILO images that you might use.
The original images (along with the sources and other interesting stuff)
can be found in

>The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

(eg AlphaPC64) with MILO images having the following naming convention:</P

experimental but tend to contain all the latest features.</P
