I want to know which kind of RAM is installed > on the motherboard: is it ECC SDRAM or NVRAM? SDRAM and NVRAM are very different kinds of memory. NVRAM is a very small amount of non volatile (i.e. doesn't get wiped when the system powers down) memory used to save OpenBoot (like a BIOS but properly designed and well thought out) settings. It is completely different and separate from the system RAM. Note that the Ultra 60 takes 200-pin Sun RAM; not PC compatable RAM (owners of Ultra 5's and Ultra 10's claim mixed success in using PC RAM; like PCI USB cards, it can be made to work but YMMV). See:

In a similar place to Debian for other architectures: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch01s04.html.en http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch02s02.html.en http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch04.html.en note that downloading all of the CDs is unlikely to be necessary. If you have a reasonably fast net connection, just download the net install CD and use that. Cheers, - Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
