A good article, the main problem being that 99% of people asking dumb questions (or good questions in a dumb way) will NEVER read it.

Using the internet should require a permit, like driving your car ;-)
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice...

I have an Indigo2 r10000 with Irix 6.5.22 installed on it. If i try to install the 6.5.30 Overlays, i end up with more than 250 conflicts. :/
Can i install 6.5.30 on my Indigo2? It is not supported if i look into the documentation.
If i can install it, what i'm doing wrong to get that much conflicts?


<Speculation> Those 250 conflicts probably come from the fact that 6.5.30 cannot find an eoe_base package that works with the I2 </Speculation>

The only differencd between the two is like 10 or 12 transistors and a differently named operation command that sounds uber complex (eg, MMX technology and 3D now)


Wow! Blanket statement from a 5-year-old!

You might want to catch up on the last 12 years of x86 development... There are reasons they kick so much ass these days. Or STFU, your choice.
