I wouldn't assume that. The kernel supports loads of stoneage PC hardware so I'd think in the SPARC world with its longer HW cycles that shouldn't be a problem either. I recently used the latest Gentoo install CD (2006/0 IIRC) on an HPPA crate from around '94, no problems. cheers! Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

Try the gentoo-sparc list, they can give you more specific help and definitely tell you whether you need an older LiveCD. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] Sun SparcStation 5 (Gentoo LiveCD)
Hi there! I decided to set up GenToo linux on Sun SparcStation 5. Since this computer is quite old (32 bit architecture, 170MHz CPU) I need a bit older version of Getoo (I do not think that this old hardware is supported by new versions). So my question is where can I find the Gentoo 2004.x LiveCD for SPARC? I did search ftp archives but unfortunately I was not able to find it. Plase help. Thanks in advance Best regards -- __Pozdrówka___ /___ ___ ___ ______ / _ /__/ ___/ /_ /__ / /_ /_/ /__/ / | /__ /__ ___/ / /__ / | -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
