Is this an after market Alpha?  I'm not sure if I remember a 'Durango
Model'.  If it is a after market, someone must have installed Linux for
you.  You need to know what type of motherboard/chip it is, once you know
this you can just use the current pre-compiled MILO's located on
gatekeeper.dec.com.

I don't think you can use the AXP Linux CD to boot from, its much different
than x86 Linux.  You should read the how-to stuff on the Redhat website, or
in the Redhat manual.
