Hello, > Mr. Chilton, Call me Ian! (or GadgetMan if you use IRC and come to #mipslinux !) > Is this tarball a good starting point for me to net boot to my indy? I have not tried that base yet and I won't be able to before the weekend. My I2 is 60 miles away and I have a remote session, but am compiling my own new system...my Indy is in the same place but turned off.. But yes, it should be OK.. There is also ICLinux v1, but this uses older stuff...you are probably better using the new base... I am working on ICLinux v2 now.. Problem is, the port is still in a very developent stage, so there is little documentation, and you have to be prepared to do a little hacking around to get things working.. You should have a look round the documents and links at http://linuxmips.ichilton.co.uk and you could also have a look at the install guide for IClinux v1 at: http://download.ichilton.co.uk/linux-mips/iclinux/INSTALL again, this is out of date and needs updating. Don't know if you are familiar with network booting, but it is mentioned in there...also notes on booting an Indy/I2 in the I2-HOWTO which is on the Documentation page on http://linuxmips.ichilton.co.uk The other problem is finding a working kernel. At the moment, the CVS tree is broken...it is being worked on.. I have a working but old kernel for the Indy/I2 which will get you going, and you can update later: http://download.ichilton.co.uk/linux-mips/kernels/vmlinux-001027-test9-r4x00.gz or ftp://download.ichilton.co.uk/pub/ichilton/linux-mips/kernels/vmlinux-001027-test9-r4x00.gz (there is also a non-gzip'd version at the same place without the .gz) Hope this helps a bit...
