 Hi,
 
 I'm trying to install Debian on my newly acquired Blade 100 and have totally

 First, I tried burning a CD-R of 3.0r1 and booting with the command:
 
 boot cdrom /boot/sparc64 
 initrd=/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin
 
 I see the Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0! message and then

You'll need the newer images here:

You can still use the CD's for package install.

 I've just downloaded and tried the new tftpboot.img and it's working fine for
 me.  Thank you!

Oh no!  I'm stuck again.  On starting the base system installation I get
this error:

Couldn't download devfsd

I've tried installing the packages from my 3.0r1 binary 1 CD and from
http://www.uk.debian.org/debian and I get the same error for each.

Thanks,

Hi Maximiliano,
if you like, you can define two different size and color depth settings for 
each of the screens, even if you use Xinerama. I had a 800x600 17 inch 
monitor and a 1024x768 21 inch monitor at the same time using Xinerama. Now 
I'm waiting for a UPA Creator 3D bought off ebay (if the seller hasn't stole 
my money and ran away) :). I will try that setup too (I need dual head, I' 
too used to it at home and at work), and, moreover, PGX64 sucks. :)

pcmica (cardbus) wifi card on a sparc?

2003-09-22 Thread Jeff Adams 

Greetings,

I'm trying to turn my ultra5 into a poor man access point for my small 
wireless network at home. I've done this previously on one of my x86 
boxes, but now's the time to get this running on the ultrasparc.


I've noticed the pcmcia-cs package appears to be absent from within 
woody. I believe this package is relatively important for getting a wifi 
card in a pci - pcmcia bridge working.


I've just tried compiling the pcmcia package from source, but it failed 
to compile. I won't get into the details of the compile, as I'm 
wondering if I even have a chance of getting this to work.


So, is anyone running wifi (or any other pcmcia cards) on their sparcs? 
If so, care to share some hints as to how you did it?


Thanks,

- Jeff
