I have been subscribed here but not really paying attention. If there
are some basic test instructions (as in, assume I've never installed
Linux on a SPARC before, and it has been years since I even installed
Solaris :-) ), I have a V480 I can help test with.
I can add Ultra 60 as "tested, known working" to the list. I plan to try an
Ultra 1 when I get the
chance.
If you need any help installing FC12 you'd be best off looking at the last month or so
of activity
on this list first but it is pretty much as simple as burning an ISO and hitting Stop+A
followed by
boot cdrom at the OpenProm. From there on in it's pretty much your standard linux/x86
style install.
Append "updates=http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/updates.img" to the SILO
boot prompt for the
revised image with fixed partitioning. Post-install, disable prelink and initially at
least, you'll
probably need selinux off too. That's it.
Any major problems then ask on the list or email me directly - if we don't disturb the
devs they'll
have more time left for hacking away on FC13 :)
