Hello! I've just managed to get a used DECstation 5000/120, which I'm having lots of fun with. I've managed to netboot linux on it with Karels (excellent) howto on the subject, and also have the RH-like root filesystem which is described in the howto.
Anyhow, I'd be interested in trying to run debian (or at least what's available of it) on the DECstation, but is not sure how to get started. Shall I get a .tgz of dpkg and use filesystem I already have, or is there a base.tgz (with a basic debian filesystem, I mean) which I can use? Another question: Is there a way to have Linux not spinning up the harddisks on startup, as they are rather noicy and I use a nfs-root filesystem anyhow? // Simon Kågström
