Hi I am wondering if anyone can provide info on installing a linux distro on a O2 machine using a CD image. I have a spare R5k O2 and have been interested in trying to get llinux installed. Can anyone provide any info on this where to start, how to install etc.

hi! im not sure if this helps but you can try the Gentoo MIPS live CD coz that's what i tried here on both Octane and O2. But when i use 1600SW on my O2, i cannot see any display during boot-up, so just use a generic VGA display then

but as what most people say here.. its still better to run IRIX on our SGI's, but if just for curiosity then have fun
