Linux on Cobalt Qube 2



I have attempted to install the MIPS Debian version on the Cobal Qube 2. This is without success of course since the stock standard Qube 2 only comes with 36Meg RAM. At least 50+ Megs is required for the install. This is what the LCD looks like during the install failure.






The install was also a small nightmare as it consisted of BOOTSTRAPING the Qube 2 and install from a NFS export directory on another host on the network.

Either I will go back to NetBSD or purchase more RAM modules for the Debian install.

More to come on this one also !
