You actually don't need documentation... at least i did not. i just got the kernel source from cvs at oss.sgi.com then i did "make vmlinux.ecoff" and after some long time (my indy runs at 100 MHz) i ended up with a new kernel. You need the same development packages (gcc etc.) as you do with x86 Greetings, Erich
