To recover the root password, you definitely need the IRIX Installation tools & overlays aka as the boot cd. I can't think of any other way. I have the complete set of IRIX 6.5.7 plus the compilers (c,c++, fortran, etc.)... but it's not mine. Send a private e-mail to me if you are still interested and we will see what we can do. > debian wont boot from CD, and they said Debian >MIPS dont support SGI O2, Is it true? Partly true. O2 linux support as paolo mentioned... is experimental. --- Andre -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
