I've decided to finally stop putting it off and get this thing set
up. So, while I'm still working on getting the 13W3-SVGA adapter figured
out and built, I'd kinda like to know what lays before me in a software
sort of sense.
is there a recommended 2.2.x kernel? 2.1? root filesystem
somewhere? Would it be reasonably easy to build the filesystem on an intel
linux system and then boot it on the Mips?
Granted i can run it in little-endian and big-endian, and that i
have irrational dreams about using it to play MP3's, which endian should i
use?
Also, I may have found that ever elusive hiss-free sound card, but
it's a PnP device, and somehow i wonder if isapnptools will function at
all on a mips system, any thoughts? (The board appears to be a Terratec
Base 1)
On the other hand, is support for the Magnum sound card something
that appears likely?
Thanks much
- Eric
