Re: Debian instalation on an SGI Indy workstation

["J. Scott Kasten" <jscottkasten@yahoo.com>]

A lot of the information that you will find out there is becomming 
outdated.  I've done this several times.

First question, do you have a SCSI CDROM for the machine, or can borrow 
one for a day?  If so, that might save you a whole lot of time getting 
started - especially as people often botch it the first time and end up 
redoing it.

If not, then you'll need to go the netboot route with a DHCP server, TFTP 
server, etc...
