Hello,

I just recently aquired my first SGI system, an O2:

Code:
IRIS 1# hinv
CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.4
FPU: MIPS R10010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0
1 250 MHZ IP32 Processor
Main memory size: 256 Mbytes
Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte on Processor 0
Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes
Data cache size: 32 Kbytes
FLASH PROM version 4.18
Integral SCSI controller 0: Version ADAPTEC 7880
Disk drive: unit 2 on SCSI controller 0
CDROM: unit 4 on SCSI controller 0
Integral SCSI controller 1: Version ADAPTEC 7880
On-board serial ports: tty1
On-board serial ports: tty2
On-board EPP/ECP parallel port
CRM graphics installed
Integral Ethernet: ec0, version 1
Iris Audio Processor: version A3 revision 0
Video: MVP unit 0 version 1.4
AV: AV1 Card version 1, Camera not connected.
Vice: TRE
1600SW Flat Panel adapter board and display.


As this is my first system I am a complete novice with IRIX. Therefore, I apologize if my questions are silly but I have been doing my best to learn how this system works. One of the many hurdles I have come across is attempting to acquire the nekoware files via rsync.

Here is what happens:

IRIS 1# /usr/nekoware/bin/rsync -az --progress \
nekoware.dustytech.net/::nekoware /usr/nekoware
building file list ...
rsync: link_stat "/nekoware.dustytech.net/::nekoware" failed: No such file or directory (2)
0 files to consider

sent 29 bytes received 20 bytes 98.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(892) [sender=2.6.8]

I do not understand why it cannot connect when there is no issue with the mirror.

Thank you for any help!

Bluecode and smj, thank you for your responses. After playing around a little the following ended up working:

/usr/nekoware/bin/rsync -az --progress \
nekoware.de::current /usr/nekoware

The files are currently downloading!

Hopefully this post can help anyone else trying to get nekoware on their system.

On the nekoware page it has "nekoware.dustytech.net/::nekoware" as the option for rsync; however, this evidently does not work. I ended up using a different mirror as shown above.
