Subject: SGI O2

Hi,

I have a SGI O2 knocking about which currenty runs irix, fair enougth.
One quick question, if i wanted to get linux working on it, how would
i go about this, as i know that there are currently issues with the
o2 due to its caching and its framebuffer.

Im guessing that i'd have to patch it, but i admit that im not good
enogth to write a patch for it yet.

Thanks,
SimonB

Try having a look at "http://www.linux-mips.org/" and if that fails ask
