I have loaded it on my UltraAX and Ultra5 systems, using a local server into which I loaded the RPMS files, and it has been proven on UltraAXi systems as well by a UltraPenguin developer (Eddie Dost) Find what you need at: http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/ftp/OS/Linux/Non-x86/Sparc/local/ultrapenguin-devel/ Good Luck David Andrew ----------- > Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 18:29:57 -0700 > From: David Van Beveren > MIME-Version: 1.0 > To: ultralinux@vger.rutgers.edu > Subject: UP 1.0.9 on Ultra AX or Ultra AXi > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > X-Orcpt: rfc822;ultralinux@vger.rutgers.edu > X-Loop: majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu > > Completely new to Linux. > > Today I downloaded the tftpboot.img image from the > /pub/Linux/distributions/ultra/sparc64/images directory on Sunsite > (UNC).
