Hi there!
I don't know if this is a german, english or multi-lingual list, so I try it
in english, though german is my native language.
I installed SuSE 7.0 for Sparc RC2, german version, on an Ultra 5 just a
minute ago.
It was the first time I used yast2 (on i386, I always use yast1). Nice
thing!
But I have found some litte inconveniencies:
- - In the monitor selection screen, there are NO Sun monitors. As most
Sparc/UltraSparc are sold together with original Sun monitors, I think they
should be selectable in the menu.
- - There are some packages selected by default that don't seem to make any
sense on the Sparc platform to me. For example the USB package - I don't
know of any Suns with usb, and do those PCI-cards with usb bus work in a PCI
sun? There are more of those things that seem to be left over from x86
architecture, but I don't remember what they were exactly.
- - The system starts up in XDM mode. I can't switch to text mode. The
<ALT><CTRL><F-Key> doesn't work as usual.
- - The english language README file on the first CD tells me that I have
installed a "SuSE 6.2"... :-)
Well done! I'm surely going to buy the Sparc distribution when it is
available.
Yours
Oliver
