My advice would be to look for *any* kind of Linux distribution for the HP9000 and see if you can boot from that. After you've got some sort of Linux running, *then* you can try to make it Gentoo. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] LiveCD for HPPA?
Hey folks... I have the once, maybe twice in a lifetime chance to try and install Linux (Gentoo, of course!) on an HP 9000/V2600. For those not aware of what a V-class is... think 32gb of RAM, 16 CPU PA-RISC powerhouse that's the size of a freezer. After Linux is on it, it's running [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a few days :) The ESIEE site claims that the V-class is "unsupported/untested", but I'm gonna try anyway. Question is... anyone know where I can download the HPPA Live CD? I've dug through a few mirrors and only found x86 and PPC...? -brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
