I'm curious if anyone has a few pointers for getting started with this endaevour. I'm going to be trying the ISO snapshot as of 06/24/2002, and see if it will install, and attempt to get a basic, single-user system up and running as described in http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/installation/sparc64/article.html. Currently, it's a stock Blade 100 system, just w/ 256mb of ram instead of the original 128mb. Alot of people say the harddrive sucks, but I figure it'll do for now until I can afford to upgrade it to something better. --Kumba To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
