Re: linux sparc installation

hi,

thank you very much for the information.

when i mount the iso-files on another linux machine, what can i do with it? 
an iso file is only a cd-rom file to be burned, but not boot file etc...
first i need the cd files. but the cd files cannot be read on a normal cdrom 
drive, because the sparc cd-rom drive has different blocksize.

please give me some more step by step instructions for the installation.

thanks,   michael

Hi,

I installed Suse linux on my sparc without cdrom by :
- mounting the iso files on another linux machine (-o loop) option
- booting the sparc from the network (boot network on open boot prompt)
and using a bootb and dhcp server on another linux machine with the tftp 
image 
that is on the cd.
- telling the install soft that the source is NFS (and exporting is via NFS 
from the other linux)

if u need more info - let me know.
