G'day,
I just scored a lab of dec5000/25's for our department to use as
xterminals and I was wondering on the status of linux on them.
The tftp instructions are quite clear, great work!!!
I tried:
dec_vmlinux.2.1.14.test4.gz. . . [May 18 1997] 249k
dec_vmlinux.gz . . . . . . . . . [Jan 8 1996] 231k
2.1.14 seemed to boot ok, but dec_vmlinux got to the calibrating part
and then hung. :( These images are quite old and I was wondering if
development of this linux port has stopped.
No point trying to work out how to boot diskless them if the kernel stuff
doesnt fly....
cheers,
cam
