Not that I'm claiming in any way to have the skills nor the time: what are the issues involved? I stumbled uppun some documentation on Andrew Clausen working on supporting Origin 200 earlier this year. He wrote a small howto on some of the quirks involved in shoving a Linux kernel onto one of those beasts. http://members.optusnet.com.au/clausen/sgi/LINUX-IP27-HOWTO He has some utils and some info on getting it running, what is your take? Will this get my anywhere near having a running Linux on my Ocane? Or do I have to start kernel-hacking before that will happen =]? -- Regards Martin Leopold.
