My RedHat 7.1 release on oss.sgi.com has the complete cross toolchain: H.J. ----- My mini-port of RedHat 7.1 is at ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/redhat/7.1/ you should be able to put a small RedHat 7.1 on the mips/mipsel box and compile the rest of RedHat 7.1 yourselves. Here are something you should know: 1. The cross compiler hosted on RedHat 7.1/ia32 is provided as a toolchain rpm. The binary rpms for the mips and mipsel cross compilers are included. 2. You have to find a way to put those rpms on your machine. I use network boot and NFS root to do it.
