hi,
thank you very much for the information.
when i mount the iso-files on another linux machine, what can i do with it?
an iso file is only a cd-rom file to be burned, but not boot file etc...
first i need the cd files. but the cd files cannot be read on a normal cdrom
drive, because the sparc cd-rom drive has different blocksize.
please give me some more step by step instructions for the installation.
thanks, michael

Hi,
I installed Suse linux on my sparc without cdrom by :
- mounting the iso files on another linux machine (-o loop) option
- booting the sparc from the network (boot network on open boot prompt)
and using a bootb and dhcp server on another linux machine with the tftp
image
that is on the cd.
- telling the install soft that the source is NFS (and exporting is via NFS
from the other linux)
if u need more info - let me know.
