sparc sun4 IPC install

2000-09-04 Thread patrick hede

Hello, I have an IPC sun4 / 40 with only
a floppy drive (not yet network) and 
a HD with 200Mo... 36Mo RAM
I do installation with the rescue floppy disk.
And now i can log as root on my machine but but but
I can not install X

the install program said:
"after running deselect"
[I]nstalling (msdos floppy method)
"Now i need the disks containing the package
Packages yet to be unpacked
386 in  wdiff xfonts-pex  vim xpaint tcl8.8
 ...
dpk-split unalable to read depot directory
/var/lib/ppkg/parts' no such file or directory
install script error 1"

Is it actually possible to run linux X under only 200Mo?
How to install light X? (from floppy or I shoul 'down' on HD before?)

thank's for all information can help me.

more on the ELC

2000-09-04 Thread Jean-Paul Blaquiere
after spending too much time trying to tftp install the ELC, I just dumped the
install on a local disk and installed that way.  It was satisfactory :)

I don't know why, but manually creating a linux-a.out && root.bin tftp image
(cat-ing the two together) did not give me the watchdog reset errors.

However, what I was trying to do was do an nfs-root install. The documentation
in the install docs was rather minimal.  Has anyone worked on it recently?  
?
or can anyone point out a good way to learn it?

*wave*
