hello list... well... heres my experience of the boot image at: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-mips/3.0.15-2001-10-19/r4k-i p22/tftpboot.img
everything went well and first time i chose woody install. the only hitch appeared to be the problem mentioned before on the list in that you cant reboot the machine after it has finished. once it was power cycled it worked fine. the post install config thing was run automatically but there seems to be a problem with it (also seen before on this list). everytime a package needs to run menu-update (/usr/bin/menu-update i think) it segfaults so many of the packages wont configure properly which makes apt-get very unhappy. i also tried the sid install but that produced a problem during install in that it couldnt chroot the dpkg command so didnt complete the installation. on top of this... looking in /proc/cpuinfo shows my processor as a R4000SC altho hinv shows it to be a R4400 with a R4000 FPU. is this right? lastly... i hear conflicting stories about support for 24bit graphics. some say it is working others dont. how can i identify which version of the 24 card i have? hinv just shows it as indy 24 bit. i read some info that suggests there are 3 versions of the 24 bit card. needless to say - i havent quite got xfree working yet! congratulations on the boot image - i wasnt expecting such an easy ride to get woody installed.
