Morning all,
going off on something of a tangent, I was recently given a Sun
SPARCstation 10 (2x50MHz HyperSPARC, 128Mb RAM, 4Gb HDD, 1x onboard 10Mb/s
NIC and Quad 10/100Mb/s NIC) which I've decided to try and port SME to in
the vein of Robert's rather excellent Alpha project. It's an architecture
which I'm relatively unfamiliar with but I've already got RH6.2 loaded on
it and have been having a good play about with it.
For starters, can anyone (Robert?) let me know of any staringly obvious
reasons why this won't work and is a waste of time, or alternatively, give
me a heads up on any obvious problems I'm likely to encounter. I'll
probably be looking to do an SME5.5 like system as that's well bedded down
now...
Thanks in advance for any help...I'll post any updates, should they ever
happen :)
Gary

Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] Announcing unofficial SME/Alpha V5.5 for DEC
Alpha architecture
Dear Alphaphiles,
Looks like my preannouncement in November was a bit premature, but my
unofficial and unsupported port of SME 5.5 to the Alpha (aka DEC Alpha,
Compaq Alpha, AXP) architecture is now ready to be released.
I want to thank Chaloner Hale for all the time and effort he put in to
help me test the distribution and troubleshoot the problems that we found.
I'm working with Mitel to get the iso to them. If you don't have the
bandwidth to download the iso, or if you just can't wait for the iso to
show up in my contrib area, contact me off-list for a CD-ROM. Others
should keep an eye on http://www.robert2.dds.nl/ (currently empty), where
I'll post links to the iso and md5sum when they're available. I'll also
post future updates there and maybe a FAQ list (which with our userbase
will probably be an AQ list).
Cheers,
Robert
