That's a good point. I had problems earlier when it was installing the ip22 arcboot, and I got some message saying not enough disk space. Plus, I got the 75MB value from the other Debian on MIPS sites (linked in Martin's page). But, now that you mention it, 75MB may be overkill. What do you recommend? > * What is "SGI serial cable"?

In my experience, a serial cable that would work on our other networking gear (switches and routers) would not work on the SGI for some reason. But, when I used the SGI branded serial cable on the O2, it works. I've been told some Ciscos have similar issues with non-Cisco branded serial cables.

Getting Linux to run on these O2s have given them new life. Happy to share my (in)experiences. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
