     Splack 8.0 on Sun Netra Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version

    Hardware compatibilityI am trying to install Splack 8.0 on a Sun Netra T105 using a serial terminal. I get as far as logging on as root and getting the Bummer tty2 and tty3 messages. I fixed that by following the instructions for the workaround, but I can't get Splack install to recognise my cdrom as the source. I get a message refering me to FAQ.TXT for info on how to copy some of the cdrom to hard disk to install but there is no mention of that in FAQ.TXT.

    Hardware compatibilityI´m installing 10.2 on a Sun Sparc 10. All goes well during installation, but when booting for first time from hard disk, the keyboard loses key-mapping and it´s impossible to continue working . I tried all keyboard configuration. What should I verify ?.

    My best regards. Roberto

    DevelopersI've merged a couple of xorg.conf files from Debian with the one distributed with rc.5, it works well on an E4500 with cgsix and should be OK on ATI or Creator 3D.

    I've done my best to retain as much of the original Slackware comments etc. as are appropriate.

    Somebody please tell me where to send it if it's likely to be of any use to the project.

    General NewsDue to an extended lack of progress the Splack project has been suspended until a new team can be found to take over.

    Well, it looks like we are getting somewhere.
    Gregsparc has uploaded his work which was a separate project and is now merging it into Splack. Take a look in the gregbeta directory on the mirrors. No installer yet, but most of the updated packages are there if you would like to upgrade.
