You can download the restore discs from here:

Sorry, I don't have a Qube, I don't know.

The qube is a MIPs processor, similar to the RAQ2, so these instructions
should help you get started on updating Apache and installing PHP. They are
a little dated now, but it's just a matter of changing the version numbers
and reading the instructions that come with the source tarballs.

Can't help you on this one, sorry.

Good luck,
