well, finally after days & days spent over the fucking debian (what a terrible installation ! slackware rulez ;) i installed MANUALLY a Debian Potato on this SPARC Box :)
it was really a MESS. i'm writing a sort of HOWTO about this, explaining how i solved some weird problem (segmentation fault in dselect, can't malloc in dpkg and some other things) but now we have a working system, with X-Windows running as server using our network server as a client for the applications. :) any hint about using GCC on a SPARC with only 16 megs ? i think memory is too low for this ... (and i'm thinking about installing a cross-compiler on the network server :) p.s. i only have, for now, an italian version of the doc. i'm working on the english translation :) Asbesto from FreakNet MediaLab www.kyuzz.org/freaknet -- Asbesto from gemini.freaknet.org mobile linux box ;)
