I recently tried installing Sparc Linux onto a SS2 I have here, and boy, I hate to say it, but it's a mess under Debian.
I'd love to help compile packages for Debian/Sparc (or maybe it's S/Debian? *wink*).. it seems it's desperately needed. For instance, why does Red Hat 4.2 for Sparc have fdisk, but the Debian install doesn't? Why does Red Hat have a boot floppy, but Debian doesn't? Why is dinstall terribly broken in the base1_2.tgz in the disks-sparc/current directory? I couldn't even convince it that I'd mounted my root partition (it kept telling me I needed to for some odd reason..) What can I do to help? Right now, unfortunately, the SS2 is running Red Hat, because I wanted X and yp and other goodies. Ben -- Brought to you by the letters V and J and the number 6.
