You gotta do the mozilla.org site also, in non-free there should be a
DebianSparc package.

Hmmm, does it only have this if it *doesn't* find some existing
disklabel? (I'll try it when I get back home, but I didn't see it...)

What I usually do for testing the installation procedure is borrow my
swap partition for the purpose.
Of course that means the installation itself has to work without swap.

Hey, guys. First off, you seem to have done a great job with the Slink
install: within two hours, we took a 10-year old Sparc1 from formatting
the drives all the way to a base system, X, and ssh (inside of 65MB of
disk space, too). With any luck, another 20-something similar machines

Since I couldn't get it to treat switch disks, I looked more closely

Using the 2.1_r0 binary-sparc-1.iso, I discovered that the 1.3 roms
can't boot it, at least using the drive I have (which *does* have the
right blocksize support that it wor
