I plan to try an Ultra 1 when I get the chance. If you need any help installing FC12 you'd be best off looking at the last month or so of activity on this list first but it is pretty much as simple as burning an ISO and hitting Stop+A followed by boot cdrom at the OpenProm. From there on in it's pretty much your standard linux/x86 style install. Append "updates=http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/updates.img"; to the SILO boot prompt for the revised image with fixed partitioning. Post-install, disable prelink and initially at least, you'll probably need selinux off too. That's it. Any major problems then ask on the list or email me directly - if we don't disturb the devs they'll have more time left for hacking away on FC13 :) Regards, mat ------------------ mat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.fsck.no-ip.org PGPKEY: 0x5F7549AE _______________________________________________ sparc mailing list sparc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/sparc
