There may be a few assumptions in the current code which detects the newport graphics console that this testing may uncover. If you can fix this so it won't be Indy dependent, we win one more possible platform ! Moreover, since a challenge-S doesn't have graphics anyway Linux which is fast and compact may even outperform IRIX on some benchmarks. I would suggest that: 1) You join the mailing list: To: majordomo@engr.sgi.com Body: subscribe linux your@preferred.email.address if you have questions, ask... 2) If you have Challenge-S patches, e-mail them to the list and we can check that they didn't break anything and merge them into the source tree. -- Peace, Ariel From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: ariel@oz.engr.sgi.com (Ariel Faigon) Message-ID: <199709040253.TAA24709@oz.engr.sgi.com> Subject: Re: Linux/SGI Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 19:53:47 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <340DF260.5D60941F@xtra.co.nz> from "Brendan Black" at Sep 4, 97 11:27:28 am Reply-To: ariel@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (Ariel Faigon) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com To: Brendan Black Cc: SGI/Linux mailing list Message-ID: <19970904025347.B82GEG2aF9ULHKX82ysEP8qtGO1fdMJfASrl6dc_2wE@z> : :Hi : :we don't have a spare Indy to play with, but have a :spare Challenge S (single processor R5000) : :I was wondering if you thing this machine is possible, it would be :used with a serial console (no X), for testing ;) :-- If you feel up to the challenge, sure, please go ahead.
