Re: [TCLUG:8373] Sparc Linux

You need to use the updated boot image. I had the exact same problem.
But from what I have heard, the sparc version has problems with the
compiler among other things. YMMV. Let me know what problems you
experience (if any) when you get it running.


I think it can can be found on ftp://ftp.real-time.com/pub but I'm not
positive. I can't seem to connect to it. Anyone else having problems
connecting? If it's not there check http://www.redhat.com/mirrors for
the update.
