Subject: [suse-sparc] Installation of Suse-Sparc-7.3 on Sun Ultra 2

    Hi Folks

            First of all, let me express my gratitute and thanks to the
    Suse team for the wonderful product ie Suse-Linux-Sparc-7.3.

            Recently I installed the Suse-Linux-Sparc on a
    dual-400 MHz cpu Sun Ultra 2 and trust me that was the easiest
    installation of an OS that I have ever made.

            Actually I got it up and running including networking and
    connecting to the internet within an hour (most of the time was just
    in the installation of the OS). I am simply impressed with the product.

            I installed only the first CD on the hardrive. What are the
    contents of the Second and the Third iso images. I would greatly
    appreciate if somebody could add some details to the "README" file
    mentioning the contents of the iso images.

            I see that Netscape-4.5 for which the binary is available
    for the Sparc-Linux does not work because of the glibc issues. But
    Konqueror works and I am able to browse the network. Is there a binary
    for Mozilla or an rpm for suse-Sparc-7.3.

            Where can I get java for this OS. Does any one know if
    I can get jikes for this OS?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    This is my first posting to the list, and hence somewhat long.

    Thanks and congrats to the Suse-Sparc team
    Joseph Rajkumar
