[SPARCbook] Powerlite 170 and Aurora Linux

Tue Feb 24 12:22:31 CST 2004

Aurora Linux does not support the 170 MHz Fujitsu TurboSPARC processor in
the RDI Powerlite 170.  The install software had me fooled for a while, but
it would always hang up at different points during the installation.

According the Aurora FAQ page:
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mas01r/aurorafaq.html#ss5_170
"Aurora doesn't currently support this architecture and currently there are
no plans to implement this support."

Oh well.... :(

I installed debian last night and it went ok.  I still have to work out a
few bugs in X.
