Hi all, I just want to let you know that I've been able to install potato on a Sparc Classic. I've used the boot+root floppies to kick-start the process, and installed the rest from ftp.uk.debian.org. The only minor drawback is that X doesn't work yet (I get a white screen, and the server says something about not being able to load PEX fonts), but I'll first check the mailing list archives for clues.
Oh, something different: what kind of memory does a Classic need? It currently has 24MB installed, and I have a couple of 8MB 60 and 70 ns 72 pins PC SIMMs, but I'm not sure if it needs fast page mode or EDO SIMMs. I'm also not sure if a Classic really needs parity memory.
