Every ISO of Splack 8 I have found to download has had missing or corrupted files on it when i go try to install it on my SPARCstation 10. I have tried the isos from 6 different sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I\'m building a french site dealing with splack, gnustep and the sun enterprise 250. This site is in construction, and i will soon give a complete description of the splack distro for french users. For now, my FAI is not able to home a mirror of the files.

Are there any versions of splack that boot on the 100? I want to install it but don\'t have another sun tftp to boot from.

I ve succesfully built the beginning of the gnome serie for current : glib-1.2.9, gtk+-1.2.9, libIdl-0.6.8, mozilla-1.7.8 ( latest). This serie gives you under splack-current a fully fast web browser. The packages are ready, need to work on source packages.
I use the XF86-4.0.3 from splack-8 due to the fact that the 3DLab server works on my gfx card. All the packages are build on splack-current with the a,d,n,l series.

Hello
I ve done my own beta.iso successfully. I ve modified the initrd.img so that to be able to really choose a kbdmap ( sun-fr for me ) and it works well ( use the files from splack-8). I ve also seen problems with libcrypto and libdb3. I m quiet happy having installed cdrtools-2 from current dist and be able to use my cdrw yamaha crw2100s (never works on splack8 ). Is it usefull to complete the beta iso with the splack-current packages ?

I\'ve successfully compiled kernel 2.4.5 with splack 8 and built a raid 1 with two of my 6 hdd. Splack works perfectly on my enterprise 250 server with WindowMaker and gnustep.
I \'m beginning to build packages

I was able to install Linux-PAM on Splack (ultra 5) after installing cracklib, and could install OpenSSH with the \"--with-pam\" option and it successfully calls PAM. But I need to enable PAM support for \"login\", \"ftpd\" and \"telnetd\", on Splack 8.0. Is this even possible? I\'ve spent the last several days trying to make this work without much success. I\'ve updated util-linux-2.12q and shadow-4.0.9 but that doesnt seem to make a difference. Please, someone tell me to either stop trying, or give me some pointers as to whether it\'s even possible???.. By the way, I like the dist, and could participate in adding some security features if interested.

Thanks,
D

I\'ve successfully compiled windowmaker-0.80.2 on my e250 with splack8.0. Same good results for libfreetype2, libxml2, libslt and the last version of gnustep.

I\'ve installed splack 8.0 on my e250 and it works great. I just have some trouble configuring XF86 for my raptor GFX video card.

For Splack to survive as a viable project we need more developers.
Thanks to all of those who have volunteered, I am moving house and I will contact you all when I get settled.
