SparcStation 20

2004-11-26 Thread Richard StClair 
Hi There,
Do you have a version of Debian that will run on a SPARCStation 20? I 
have a couple of these gathering dust, and I can't bare to see them 
rust away. But I don't have an OS to go on them. Can't find any of the 
Solaris stuff, and I would rather run Debian anyway, if you have a 
distro that will run on it.

Hmm - look at http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ for the 
password.

Maybe I should remove the link on the CD pages, but these images appear to 
work (or did in the past).

AFAIK the new installer at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ 
does not come with XFS support. However, if you have enough disc space and 
set up the partitioning the right way, you can convert the system to XFS 
after it has been installed.

Cheers,

  Richard

http://people.debian.org/~blade/ explains why the iso are password
protected, and what the password is.

There is a Debian-Sparc port, which has also CD-sets of the Woody- and the 
Sarge-distro.

customized sarge cd

2004-11-26 Thread Geoffrey Lane 
I'd like to make a customized one cd/dvd with kde and a few other apps
(bittorrent, k3b, firefox) using the mini-cd rc2. I am a relative
newbie to debian but I know my way around, that being said I'd like a
friendly guide to "adding" new packages and their dependencies into
the pool directory to be used if needed in installer instead of going
online to retreive it.
I beleive debian-cd or jigdo can do it but I can't find a howto for it
that explains howto selectively choose what programs and their deps in
the cd.

Thanks for your time
Geoff

I am working on a howto for this very thing.  The current version of 
that document is at http://wiki.debian.org/index.cgi?DebianCustomCD

Any comments would be appreciated, and if you have any questions, I'll 
answer them if I can.

Proably because there are no udebs at all, let alone kernel udebs, on
the second CD. So I'm reassigning this to debian-cd; if the second full
CD is intended to be bootable, it needs to have the d-i udebs on it.
