Ultra 1 Creator and Frozen
Hello there... I tried using Frozen on my Ultra 1 200E Creator the other week, and Xsun24 wouldn't start up. Something about missing fonts. Anyway, I'm going to try again (I can't stand can't stand using Redhat much longer) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips concerning getting this combination to jive.

Had the same problem, but I'm not sure if it's resolved now or not. Here is a list of fonts I have installed: ii gsfonts 5.10a-2 Fonts for the ghostscript interpreter ii gsfonts-x11 0.12 Make Ghostscript fonts available to X11. ii xfonts-100dpi3.3.6-1 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 3.3.6-1 75 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-base 3.3.6-1 standard fonts for X ii xfonts-scalable 3.3.6-1 scalable fonts for X Let me know how things work out. If it fails, I'll try to resolve it.

Hi. Is there a FAQ list? I have a few questions that I think would just
annoy most experienced {ultra,}sparc users.
There is a FAQ for sparc linux in general at:
http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html
at the moment it doesn't have very much that is debian specific. But
if you don't find what your looking for, as Ben said just ask the
list.
Any question that could annoy most experienced users should
IMHO be asked right away.
I'm quite sure that more Debian specific information will be added
to the FAQ at www.ultralinux.org in the very near future.

Pieter

Re: IPC/IPX test floppy, please try

Can those who had problems test (and those who didn't simply check to make sure nothing else breaks) the resc1440-sun4cdm.bin image at: ftp://marcus.debian.net/pub/debian/ Thanks, Ben Bad news I'm afraid. I'm still getting the same read error on block 73 that I got before. I tried rewriting the disk and even tried a different disk. The floppy on my IPX has worked in the past... but I don't have another machine besides my IPX. Although it looks as if I will be acquiring a couple more IPXs and SS2s soon. But that won't help now :( I DO look forward toward another base ISO image. I definitely volunteer to help test another one of those :) --Kurt
