Hi, Sorry for the ignorance here. I'm interested in installing Debian on a SparcStation 1+, but I'm not sure how to begin. It doesn't have a floppy drive, so I will need to boot over the network or from a CD. I am very familiar with x86 linux, and SunOS 4.1.3 which the machine currently runs. Where can I get instructions on net booting for a network Debian installation?
Do I need to keep SunOS on the machine? I rather not, unless it means decreased functionality. (I have heard that the SunOS drivers are needed to execute SunOS programs.) I have another question unrelated to net booting: when installing SunOS from CD, it could only be installed from a Sun CDROM drive, a generic CDROM drive would not be recognized by the kernel. Is this true for Debian Linux too? Thanks for your help! Jake Griesbach University of Colorado
