netscape 476 pkgs for sparc?
Forgive the newbie question, please :) How can I install netscape-476, or more accurately, i suppose, where do i point apt sources at to pick it up? My sources.list is as per install with... deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free I can see lots of netscape 476 support pkgs on my 2.2r3 cd's and i can see the same at the ftp mirror but i keep getting complaints about dependancies on netscape-base-476 and communicator-base-476. No amount of searching via google would turn these up. I have got mozilla m18 working but i am much more comfortable in 476 and need https, which i don't think mozilla has right now Any pointers would be great!

Re: new install on ultra1/creator - cannot get video going
Many thanks for all the notes As per various responses, the simple solution was to install sun 24 bit xserver. My (wrong) assumption was that as a fairly standard Sun box it would install from the CD without any intervention on my part - I was choosing the "simple" option and picking the X packages. Clearly too used to Solaris or getting lazy :) After that, a glorious looking Debian logo in 24bit colour appeared on my 21" Sun Monitor running WindowMaker :-) I'm really impressed I suppose I can rebuild my S10 and S20 now as well :-O Cheers Howard -- Howard Glynn [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] AOL IM: "howgly" Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
new install on ultra1/creator - cannot get video going
I'm attempting my first sparc/linux install on an ultra 1/167 w/Creator, 256Mb, Quad Ether card, 2 x 9Gb. I'm using Debian Sparc 2.2r3, dated 27/04/01 (potato), I have a 3CD set from a linux vendor. Thing is, I have installed this 3 times now, with reduced number of packages each time, and each time it gets to the video configuration during CD1 I get the message "Your video card was successfully identified. The (( Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/devices. You probably have an old kernel. Support for the old Linux PCI interface should be coming soon )) server will be installed" [ double (( )) speculatively added by me ] Linux installs correctly aside from the video config. I can't run X in any shape or form. Can anbody suggest what I am missing. I am a Solaris guy normally, please forgive my newbie question... :-) I'm frustrated as I went through the archives and saw specific posts about ultra 1 / creator on debian, so i assumed there would not be a problem, it is a familiar configuration of machine The only thing that was slightly weird during install was that I had to specify my CDROM as /dev/sr0 rather than /dev/cdrom. Even weirder is that I installed an old RedHat 6.0 SPARC on the machine for the hell of it and the X server came up just fine??? However, I really want the up to date Debian release!
