I've finally succeeded in building a LiveCD for the Alpha platform with |
2 |
catalyst. The result, a 58 MB file, can be downloaded from |
3 |
http://www.ibiblio.org/jmaynard/gentoo-alpha-1.4-test2-20040225.iso . Anyone |
4 |
who's interested in Gentoo on the Alpha is invited to download and test it. |

I've done some testing, but haven't tried installing a system with it yet. |
7 |
It does boot, talk to the network, and see SCSI-attached disks without extra |
8 |
parameters if they're attached to the controllers normally sold wiht Alpha |
9 |
systems. |

The CD was built with a zisofs filesystem. It has 3 kernels installed, one |
12 |
for normal use, one intended for use with MILO for those systems that can't |
13 |
run aboot for some reason, and one built specifically for the Jensen |
14 |
platform. |

|
16 |
I've created bug 43092 to add the specfiles and scripts to catalyst. |
