Re: boot

I have Red Hat Sparc 6.2 running on several machines at and at work. I have to 
agree with Bill it was fairly simple. I might suggest though, the Aurora Sparc
Linux project  http://www.auroralinux.org/ . This is built on Red Hat 7.3
that is if your interested in that.

RedHat-6.2 (for Sparc) was one of the most flawless installs I've done
on a Sparc box and if you can still get the correct media I'd suggest
you give it try.

Guilherme, did you point the machine to the cdrom at boot time?  It
won't "autoboot" from a CD like a x86 machine will.
