Hi all, just wanted to drop a note that the UltraSPARC ISOs of the T2 minimal-X.org LiveCD did finish, finally (takes some time to buid on a 360MHz CPU ...) http://osiris.tfh-berlin.de/mirror/t2/stable/6.0.3/minimal-desktop-live-sparc64/ http://www.t2-project.org/ The 300 MB sized ISO is a LiveCD with quite recent modular X11R7 with barely more than the system and X basics (Firefox is included, though :-). Tested on my U5 and U10, thus known to even properly bring up a Sun Creator 3D.
