The Indy's are big endian machines. This means that you won't be able to use the packages I have provided. Due to the lack of a proper machine I can't work on that port, but others are. Please check out http://www.infodrom.north.de/linx/ , search for mips. You'll get a bunch of links to read. Kernels should be found on ftp.linux.sgi.com as well as a hardhat you could use as start. If you don't like this you can check out how far the binary-mips port is and look at ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian/debian Regards, Joey -- Let's call it an accidental feature. --Larry Wall
