Hello Nadav, >What binary distribution has the best support for Sun machines?
The first distribution which was equipped with support for Sun SPARC64 is Ubuntu; this happened after some attempts to boot Fedora Core (by Dave Miller and others) failed giving panic. This of course does not imply the Ubuntu is the best one , but it is the most veteran in this field. So I suggest you try it (you can try Ubuntu live-cd first to see what are the results). >but after boot the keyboard stops working (It only has USB >keyboard&mouse). to make sure this keyboard is identified please try : "tail -f /var/log/messages", and then unplug the USB keyboard and plug it back in. Do you see any messages ? Regards, Rami Rosen On 7/26/07, Nadav Shemer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.
