ok, I found this file (google for it): stage3-sparc-2006.0.tar.bz2
I put it into a vmdk image file, preformatted in ext2 fs. I touched up a few files and used the sparc kernel and binaries from the qemu-windows page. I've now a native compiler for sparc32. I managed some stuff with it already. If the kernel patches I've works with this compiler, porting DetaolB to sparc32 should be fine. I'll just take some times (native compilation in qemu). Many of you will say: why not cross-compiling ? It's hard to setup. Actually, the paper from Rob at OLS should help me a lot when he'll release it. ;-) -- Christian -- http://detaolb.sourceforge.net/, a linux distribution for Qemu
