I have a couple of questions; is there a how-to document that outlines how to load linux on an sgi? is the Indigo Elan (r4000) supported? I'm not sure how to initialize a loading of linux on the sgi. Here's what I've assumed: - bring over the src's to the sgi - compile a basic system (under irix) - copy over the original irix kernel with the new linux kernel - re-boot The begging questions: The FS are not compatible, therefore a new mkfs has to be done on the (root) partitions. This just doesn't "sound" right to me. What am I overlooking? ja Ralf Baechle wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hi all, > > ok, here are the toys I promised to upload to ftp.linux.sgi.com: > > - tons of srpms some of which have been modified compared to RedHat's > original versions for the ``Mustang'' release and big endian binaries. > - tarballs of libc binaries. > - srpms and both big and little endian binaries of an updated binutils > package. > - a tarball with big endian binaries of XFree 3.3.1. > - kernel binaries for the Indy and RM200.
