I tried, it doesn't work. From what I have been told, the distribution
isn't being based on ultrapenguin, merley the initial base system is
ultrapenguin. This is only for initial setup to get the port going. I'm
sure the debian port will be base on our current sparc distribution.
Am I correct in assuming that if we get a debian install image for
ultralinux we can simply use the binary-sparc packages?
