I think if someone could whip together a quick 5 steps to booting an Indy under Linux and post them on http://www.linux.sgi.com, it'd be great, especially for people like me who are more the userland type. I have access to a i586-SCSI Linux system on the same network as my Indy, so I guess it should make things easier (booting diskless and/or making an efs filesystem on my SCSI disk on the PC) Thanks, - Mgix (Hi ariel, I'm still around :) ) ________________________________________________________________________________ Emmanuel Mogenet PGP Key on Request
