Does this MIPS merge mean that the 2.4.19-pre2 kernel would work on a MIPS
based Cobalt Qube 2? It that's the case, then I just need a working
userland.

The official Linux kernel from Cobalt is 2.0 vintage. I'm currently
running NetBSD 1.5.2 to have something a little more modern, but I would
like to come back to Linux if possible.

The MIPS merge still isn't complete, this was just the bulk part. So such
I haven't even tried to build let alone test Marcelo's -pre2 kernel. If
you want a 2.4.18 kernel for a Qube, get it via anonymous CVS. See the
MIPS HOWTO at http://oss.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html.

A few cciss updates are still pending, so these will disappear for the
next -pre.

Hello Ralf , Where in the FAQ does it describe how to get from
CVS the necessary components for a MIPsel kernel from CVS or do
you just grab the whole kernel ? Also the URL:
ftp://intel.cleveland.lug.net/pub/Mipsel
appears to not allow anon access anylonger . Tia , JimL

ie:
$ ncftp ftp://intel.cleveland.lug.net/pub/Mipsel
NcFTP 3.0.2 (October 19, 2000) by Mike Gleason ([email protected]).
Connecting to 207.166.193.105...
ProFTPD 1.2.1 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [cleveland.lug.net]
