Reply-To: Daniel.Veillard@w3.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93 Organization: World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk I now have both SGILinux-5.0 and SGILinux-5.1 archived on rufus.w3.org and my feeling is that the 5.0 packages don't need anymore public exposure (plus there are a couple of broken RPM in the 5.0 distrib). So I'm thinking about removing the 5.0 distrib from the mirrors, HTML output and rpmfind database. Opinions ? Also I may be able to grab and reinstall an old Indy at the end of the month, but it has only a 1 Gig internal HD with a single IRIX partition, I'm not sure I will be able to grab an external drive. In such a situation is it possible to install SGILinux ? My limited understanding of the situation is that the ROM loader only understand Irix partition format and then to load the kernel one need to keep it in such a partition, in that case it seems I will have a hard time without using a second drive for Linux install, right ?
