Is it possible to download a "Ethernet boot"

via ethernet card. Any such utilities for the
sandpoint platform are available.. ?
Use PPCBoot.
I'm not sure how good the Sandpoint support is at the moment, but
it's there, and it compiles, and some people say they actually use
it.
Whats "tftp" and How do I set it up ?
Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
(no RTFMs please...)
Ummm... but this _is_ a RFTM job.
Or ask your friendly network administrator :-)

I second this :-)

I think this is a fair question. When I bought my Abatron BDI2000, I
had a hard time setting up a TFTP server on my Linux host... it was
much easier to use the Windowze-based TFTP server that came along
with the Abatron firmware :-(
Fortunatelly, we have some local Linux gurus here at my job place. So,
basically, what has to be done, assuming a Linux host, is:
1 - Check if you're lucky: try locating in.tftpd in your bin
directories (mainly in /usr/sbin)
2 - If you don't have it, download it from the web; better download
both server and clients apps
3 - Install them (I have a Red Hat box, so installing rpm's is
straightforward for me :-)
4 - Now, the tough part: you'll have to manually configure inetd (or
worse, xinetd - depending on your system). I can put a copy of a
sample conf file here, if you need it...

Okay this is probably a newbie, RTFM question, but if you could just point me in
the right direction, I'd
appreciate it.
I need to compile some 1394 libraries for my embedded 8260 board (HHL 2.0). These
are the libraw1394 libraries needed for Firewire. They have a ./configure script
and everything, but if I tell the script --target=powerpc-linux I get 100's of
make errors. I'm using the HHL2.0 cross compiler, maybe that needs something
extra to be done?
Any advice on manually cross compiling libraries?
I can include the ./configure file if it would help.
Thanks!
