Subject: help new people get on board
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 12:28:17 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199801192028.MAA26854@oz.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
To whom it may concern...
It seems that tere have been a recent surge in people who
want to try SGI/Linux on their Indy's. Unfortunately, despite
having about 10 people already running Linux on their SGIs
we still don't have a really easy, complete, up-to-date,
and straightforward doc on how to get there...
For example:
ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/mips-linux/GettingStarted/README
says that Linux-installer-0.1.tar.gz is broken.
root-be-0.00.cpio.gz is old, and root-be-0.02.tar.gz is untested.
The FAQ/HOWTO is very old an inaccurate and has broken links:
http://www.linux.sgi.com/faq.html
Please, could someone who feel confident with this stuff step
forward and make the necessary changes to the web/ftp site so we
can have people join the trailblazers easily? Every minute
invested in this as opposed to hacking the code would be a much
better investment in terms of more people joining and keeping
the momentum of this project.
Thanks!
