Yep, as long as you have lots of CPU cycles. I believe an R10k at 300 MHz is minimum, also a MaxImpact/MXI graphics subsystem with maximum TRAM should be recommended. > PS: Is there a way to install FGFS (+SimGear + PLIB + GLUT) on a Indy > w/o root privileges? I'd like to try it at the university. Yes, you could place the binary in your home directory and adjust 'fg-root'. That's it. But be warned: My first SGI was a 175 MHz Indigo2 MaxImpact (somewhat Indy's successor) wit 2x 1 MByte TRAM. CPU was too slow and TRAM was too little. Now I have an 195 MHz Octane SSI. CPU is still somewhat too slow and SSI has _no_ TRAM. I doubt you'll be lucky on an Indy, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
