Hi All, Ive had an indy for a couple of years (complete with working webcam!) but I have no media for the OS (nor a monitor for that matter) As much fun as you can have with one of these things, Id like to have the OS on hand to start from scratch. Does anybody know where I can lay my greasy hands on the media? (and how much beer will need to be traded)
Thanks Shane
Don't know about Irix media and it probably doesn't help that SGI is bankrupt but these things run Linux also - Debian has support for them I'm pretty sure.
Thanks, The last time I looked into running linux on the indy there was no linux support for the webcam (not that the webcam is anything to rave about, it has serious redshift issues) If I have irix, I can experiment, knowing I can go back to a clean install. The debian port though is http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/ Although for the life of me I cant get the site atm When I think about it, there is going to be the problem of loading the OS onto indy, as it has no floppy drive nor a cd drive, meaning a probable network install solution :\
