To whom it may concern... It seems that tere have been a recent surge in people who want to try SGI/Linux on their Indy's. Unfortunately, despite having about 10 people already running Linux on their SGIs we still don't have a really easy, complete, up-to-date, and straightforward doc on how to get there... For example: ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/mips-linux/GettingStarted/README says that Linux-installer-0.1.tar.gz is broken. root-be-0.00.cpio.gz is old, and root-be-0.02.tar.gz is untested. The FAQ/HOWTO is very old an inaccurate and has broken links: http://www.linux.sgi.com/faq.html Please, could someone who feel confident with this stuff step forward and make the necessary changes to the web/ftp site so we can have people join the trailblazers easily? Every minute invested in this as opposed to hacking the code would be a much better investment in terms of more people joining and keeping the momentum of this project. Thanks! -- Peace, Ariel
