Hi. I just subscribed to this list now, here goes: Yesterday I was at the MIT flea market in boston, just minding my own buisness when I saw 2 Pizza Boxes sitting on a table amongst other assorted Items. I bought one of them for $40..it was a SUN Sparc 1+, 2 105 MB hard drives, a floppy, no video card.
It has RedHat on it (suposedly...I need a video card as I have no terminal to use on the serial port). Where do I start? I really want to run debian-sparc and help out (ya know, compile packaages for sparc when I have some free time and all...at the very least be able to compile MY package for the sparc) I am going to get an s-bus vid card for it..have a monitor and a keyboard (they came with a Sparc 3/80 whioch I also bought...and now hear is useless :( ) and mouse. can I use my i386 linux box to make up the base dist disks? Are there any common problems I should be aware of? Any info will help..I have only seen SUNs before (I do have an account on a Sun sparc 1 but..I only ever telnet to it..and its solaris) I have no manuals and no idea where to get info. also...is that 3/80 good for anything? what CAN i do with it...if not use linux -Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
