AFAIK that's the same as for Intel, so the docs are pretty good for that part. The installs that I have done thus far have all been local media, though. And you will want to use the VNC graphical installer, since the text mode installer is rather minimal. Also, you'll want/need to take the installer's defaults; don't try to do anything fancy or change too many things during the install, as anaconda seems to be somewhat unstable on SPARC. Which specific SunFire boxen are we talking about here? PCI, or SBUS? The more details the better, as the docs for the SPARC stuff really are sparse, and are primarily found in the archives of this list. SBUS in particular can be painful, since udev doesn't autodetect SBUS devices as of F12. _______________________________________________ sparc mailing list sparc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/sparc
