[gentoo-user] Sun SparcStation 5 (Gentoo LiveCD)

[Grzegorz Sójka]

Hi there!

I decided to set up GenToo linux on Sun SparcStation 5. Since this
computer is quite old (32 bit architecture, 170MHz CPU) I need a bit
older version of Getoo (I do not think that this old hardware is
supported by new versions). So my question is where can I find the
Gentoo 2004.x LiveCD for SPARC? I did search ftp archives but
unfortunately I was not able to find it.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Try the gentoo-sparc list, they can give you more specific help and
definitely tell you whether you need an older LiveCD.

Thanks,

I wouldn't assume that. The kernel supports loads of stoneage PC
hardware so I'd think in the SPARC world with its longer HW cycles that
shouldn't be a problem either. I recently used the latest Gentoo install
CD (2006/0 IIRC) on an HPPA crate from around '94, no problems.

cheers!
