Another question: some days before, I was trying to compile a kernel in testing (gcc3.3, and so on). Using sparc32 make ARCH=sparc64 menuconfig everthing went well. But only until that. make dep, and the others in sequence don't work at all. I gave up and come back to stable. Some times what really import is that the system works, and works with confidence :^)

This is my mail/dhcp/dns/... production kernel, so i don't want speed or some exotic feature, only a kernel that run. ;)I'd say stick with what works :) You could go with a newer 2.2 kernel with no problem. You could try a 2.4 kernel, since they work pretty well on uni-proc sparc32's. I can't even suggest 2.6, since I've no idea how they are working. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
