My o2 is

Code: Select all

O2Workstation 2# uname -Ra
IRIX O2Workstation 6.5 6.5.25f 07080050 IP32


I'm attempting an update to 6.5.30 (actually anything) but I'm getting the following in loads of conflicts.

Code: Select all

1b. Also install eoe.sw.base (1289662620 - 1289662699) from an additional
distribution -- insert another CD or specify another software
distribution.

eoe.sw.base... I've tried literally all the disks and dist folders I have.. WTF.. I will give up soon and do a clean install, it's not like there is anything of interest on it!

My base 6.5 comprises of the fat package containing 6.5.7 Installation Tools and Overlays et al - Which I have used in the past for bare bones installs, plus all the other relevant disks (even fat 6.5.1 package). I've thrown in a tonne of Disks (and I do have a fair few) from other libraries I have and none rectify the conflict.

Possible conflict issue maybe.. the o2 is now a 300MHZ r12000 yet the disk comes from an R5000 (another machine) ? Possible issue?
