Alright- I'm not gonna get into this- people on listservs will always get what they want to out of a message- usually the worst.
I am gonna look for my 6.2 CDs for the guy who has a Crimson, but I fear they're 2000 miles away in Chicago-- sitting on top of my Crimson. :( I'll look around for older versions like 4 and 3 as well... I know they're somewhere in my RAID I /DID/ find 6.5.22 and imaged it. I've *temporarily *placed the 6.5.22 overlay media on my server- someone should upload it to archive.org. I will do it at some point later, when I'm not on a cell phone... If I remember. http://quaalud.es/requests-ccmp/irix-6522/ Note: *This release is an overlay and still requires the 6.5.0 foundation set on Archive.org*- thus my comment that it was a good start! No invalidation of what others have done- in fact it is necessary to build on! (Thank you, Jason!) You need this version to run any of the excellent freeware packages in nekoware: http://nekochan.net/what-is-nekowar.html Cheers, - Ian On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 2:54 PM, geneb <ge...@deltasoft.com> wrote: > On Tue, 12 Jan 2016, Ian Finder wrote: > > So instead of sneering about it, why not upload ISOs of that version? >>> >> >> I wasn't sneering at it.
