[plug] Leeenix/BSD On a SPARC 2

[navarre at omen.net.au]

Hello Dave

I have experience at upgrading a Sun Sparc IPC from what it was running to 
Debian Linux using the boot floppy images for base configuration and
ftp the rest of the required .deb files to configure as wanted. 

I have downloaded the whole of Debian's /sparc-binary archive for release
Woody but as yet not written it to CD's. There is about 1.1 Gig of files
and I have not looked at what files/ directories should be put on the 
first cd.

Email me if what I have is what you need.

> Also, if you have CD's/CD-R's of either NetBSD, Debian or OpenBSD (or anything similar, Solaris 7 etc.) for SPARC could you please gimme a mail. :D
