Guys, what is the most recent Live CD (universal one prefered) that I can use on a SparcStation 20 ?
I tried the 2004.3 that I used on my Ultra 10 but it wouldnt boot, moaning about memory alocation, at a rough guess I would say that this is due to the CD being setup for Sparc64.... but being new to gentoo I dont know if this is the case.

OK I found a 32bit Sparc Live (Universal disk) in the end.. the latest one was 2004.1
Has Sparc 32bit development stopped ?

The ultra 10 is a sparc64, that CD should have worked. I just loaded my Ultra 10 with the 2004.3 cd

I did install the 2004.1 cd OK.. but man that system is slow.. I am not sure I will ever find much use for it.. compiling on a single 32bit 75MHz cpu is no fun..
I had intended to upgrade the box to dual or possibly quad 150MHz Ross CPU's and a stack or ram, but in the end I bought an Ulltra 2 plus another 200Mhz CPU for £60 UKP ($120 ish US) this was far cheaper and has lots more power
