Re: recomendation about Sparc
Back in the day, I installed just the Woody base system on my dual 200 Ultra2 and then just apt-get'ed the packages I wanted. I had no problems booting from the CD (just 'boot cdrom' at the OBP prompt should work), partitioning the disks, and installing. http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian-cd/3.0_r2/sparc/ -- ~ -greg "hrmmm - a Beowulf cluster of Dreamcasts and PS2s..." -Slashdot.org post On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 01:16:41PM -0300, Cesar Alcacibar wrote: > Hello Listers > > I write to ask youre opinion > wahy you think is the best way to install debian on Sparc machines > > Thanx for your opinions

You only need to download the 3M "tftpboot.img". This will launch the installer then download another 70M of packages. This gives you the base installation then you can decide any additional software. If you have to install 5 or more machines, CDROM will be a good approach which conserves the net traffic. Net install is more elegant and flexible but you have to setup bootp/tftp/dhcp servers. This is well documented in the installation doc. If you know how to do Solaris Net install, Linux is very similar.
Re: recomendation about Sparc
I used the 1st cd of the standard woody/sparc distro and installed a base system and then apt-get everything into it that I need, but Tasksel works as well for setting up your first packages... I will say that I was at a loss for how to properly format the drive on a sparc5 for the debian install, but ended up following some netbsd docs on the proper way to format and partition a sun drive... If you get hung up on the partitioning, drop me an email and I'll walk you through it...
