There are a couple of docs on http://www.linux.sgi.com that describe how to
install Linux on an Indy. If you don't know the device names under irix,
user the system manager to install and partition your new disk - then you'll
see it's device name in the disk-manager app thingy - after that, a few minutes
with 'fx' and 'man fx' should be sufficient, or you can consult a copy of
Frisch's 'Essential System Administraton' (O'Reilly) for a step by step
on adding disks under Irix.
The linux installer is capable of partitioning your disk too, AFAIR, use
fdisk though, and not disk druid.
Hope that helps a little,
Ken
