live fast, die young ... yesterday i set up my c200 with debian. headless. no visualize fx2 support :-( anyway, makes up a good server.
kernel-image-2.4.9 hpmc's mpg123 *ouch* put debian.org stable into sources.list fetch kernel-image-2.4.18 32bit hppa dist-upgrade, reboot new kernel works fine. no glibc problems. no kernel problems. plays mp3's with mpg123, accepts ssh sessions - "out of the box" only one little thing i have to research, the box is telling something like "WARNING: running out of DMA buffers" or something like... i really appreciate this list. but stay cool. if you use testing software, thus do the update stuff a lot and run into problems, don't be so weird about it. if you use stable software and your workstation hangs, file (patch?) a bug or install windows. for the last months, we had very little flames and very much productive threads about program development and package management. i don't want to miss that, so stay tuned and hang on doing good work. another issue: do we still need compile hosts for debian in europe/germany? i am willing to give ssh shell access to debian developers/package maintainers/porters in germany. i already know, there is paer, are there any other machines like it? my machine has 3 4.5gb ultra wide scsi disks in it, 512mb memory, 200mhz processor and can be used as a compile environment for hppa debian.if we need disk space, i can import the filesystem from nikita, which can be freed to approximately 30GB. it is also possible to set up chroots for testing and unstable branches. this evening, i am going to measure the time for kernel compiles and typical program compilation times and play around with bonnie++. have a nice day, bye, pappy
