Sorry about this, my mistake. I had to setup my /etc/resolv.conf
file. Can someone who has revert privileges on the wiki please
revert my last edit.

apt-get could not resolve domain names inside the chroot, so I had
to replace them with IPs. Guess this is a bug as well? How do I
report something as a release candidate bug?

"When asked if you want to use dash as the default system /bin/sh to
improve performance, say "n" or the setup will fail."

Could you file a bug report an tell how the setup fails, that is
release candidate (RC) bug.

gcc-4.4 looks like it is already there:

Thanks, I edited the instructions slightly to be able to get a
working chroot. I noticed there does not seem to be a gcc
executable. Does anyone have such a package that can be added? It
looks like some of the basic tools for building up a system are
there but others are missing. At least with GCC I can start
compiling the rest :). Getting gcc/glibc (binutils) to build correctly was
the major issue I was having when I was trying to follow the

Sorry I am a bit ignorant on current sparc64 status, but I think it is
not ready to deploy on HPC systems. But you can still play with it.

New instructions have been added to be able to bootstrap sparc64
system. Please test them out and feel free to modify, improve, ...

These apt lines are for the sparc64 arch, not sparc, so you can't
directly point apt at them on a sparc install.  Either debootstrap
with --arch=sparc64, or browse the mirror tree manually.

Greetings everyone, I have been trying to get a working 64-bit
sparc64 system and having a lot of trouble. Today someone in
#debian-sparc on oftc gave me a link[1]. I copied and pasted
the Apt-lines into my sources.list file and ran "sudo apt-get
update", but got the errors below. Can anyone tell me where I can
get the packages from, or how I can help with this effort? I am
very intereted in getting a 64-bit system running to use for HPC
doing computational neuroscience research.
