Debian on Sun-4/110?

1998-09-16 Thread Rich Ralph 
Hi,

I just got a Sun-4/110.  It's an old tower, but it's my first Sun
workstation. Can I run Debian Linux, or do I have to run *bsd?  Or, should
I stick with SunOs 4.1.x?  I'd really like to stick with Linux, but beggars
can't be choosers.  Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks.

Best regards,
Rich Ralph

Netscape SunOS emul?

1998-09-16 Thread Ward Deng 
DO I need iBCS installed to run SunOS binary under emulation?

I installed SunOS libraries according to instructions but when
I started to execute SunOS binary, it simply told: cannot
execute binary file

This is kernel 2.0.33 with Debian SPARC/Linux on a SS1+. 
lsmod does not show me anything.

No, but you do need to compile with support for a.out binaries.
