Re: Debian on Ultrasparc 1/170E
Hi All, It all depends on what we are trying to achieve. I have installed Debian on Ultra1s and used them as programming workstations (Qt, Php, Glade) and also as DHCP and/or DNS servers; they work fine and the graphic capacities with an ordinary suncg6 card and a 17'' Sun monitor are satisfactory for the price paid... This doesn't mean, of course, that we should compare things that are not comparable; I don't think anybody should expect to see an Ultra1 behaving like a PentiumIV...

I would have thought the 'desktop experience' would be comparable to a PII 400Mhz machine, if that's not fast enough then changing to a lighter weight desktop environment might help. Yes, it is a very relative thing. PII-400-ish is fast enough to be usable for me - and this machine can take a gigabyte of RAM, which won't hurt either. I want to do it more because it's cool than because it's practical, but if it can be both, bonus! Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Etch install You can find Information in the Root-RAID-HOWTO ( you'll find it at tldp.org ). It's old and obsolete ( because written for the old raittools ), but maybe it's a good startingpoint and leeds you the right way to understand what to do.

The Etch installer indeed does support setting up Software RAID levels 0, 1 and 5.

Well unless you have a monitor with BNC input. Those with 13W3 are rather rare but not actually needed. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

This server has dual 400mhz sparc processors. 1gig of ram, 4 scis hardrives. NO IDE in it. I installed on the scis drive labeled 0,9,0. How do I get open boot to startup from this disk. Thanks for Anyhelp I can get. You'll need to run the command 'boot device' from OpenBoot. The exact device string will depend on the configuration of the I/O system and what type of controller is being used, but it is basically a / separated path - ala the *NIX filesystem. Once you've determined the correct command you can set boot-device and auto-boot so the process is automatic.

Graphical Log In
I have Debian Sarge installed on a Tatung COMPstation U10. Works fine. I even got X up and running using FVWM. When I boot, the Debian graphical log-on comes up. It always logs me into FVWM. I would like to try a couple of other Window managers like iceWM. Is there a way to set up to choose window managers?

I guess that what comes up is xdm (does it look really ugly? :-). You can remove it and install gdm or kdm instead - each of them allow you to choose the windows manager before login, if there is more than one installed.
