Re: Re: Debian in a Octane

[John Schmidt <John.Schmidt@utah.edu>]

Thiemo,

You mentioned installing debian on an octane via:

"It can be done, but only via netboot/NFSroot/debootstrap, not via the
normal installer."

Are there any explicit instructions on how to do this?

It is my understanding that you need a 64bit kernel to boot the octane.  I 
assume that you can use the regular sarge/sid repository for the other 
programs making up debian?

Is there a 64bit ip30 kernel I could get or do I need to make one myself via a 
cross-compiler?

Thanks,

John Schmidt
