[mat@corona ~]$ uname -r 2.6.32.9-72.fc12.sparc64 To experiment I did a default install with Gnome etc - although I normally use old sparc64/linux systems for headless servers - and despite some unsurprising flakiness, graphical login is actually pretty usable and stable. ssh/smb/nfs all configured and worked as expected under load. I'm just installing LAMP atm as I hope to keep using Fedora Sparc mostly for that role, and will give it a good thrashing once it's done. With a bit of arsing about I got selinux running cleanly in enforcing/targetted mode too. Minor things I should mention for anyone else doing this is that you'll have to edit fedora.repo for the correct mirrorlist after install and disable GPG signing (I did try to import the main GPG keys from the install tree to no avail). After sorting that out the newer kernel Spot recommended is available from yum with "sudo yum install kernel-2.6.32.9-72.fc12.sparc64". glibc will not update, force it manually with: mkdir TMP;cd TMP \ sudo yum install glibc*-2.11.1-5* -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=. \ sudo rpm -Uvh * You will need to install downloadonly first obviously. Otherwise, so far so good. -- mat ------------------ mat(a)fsck.no-ip.org www.fsck.no-ip.org PGPKEY: 0x5F7549AE
