Hello
I am trying to put a sysinstall utility for the ARC/MIPS Port. As Alpha is
also a ARC platform ( At least some of them ). I took the sources from Alpha
Sysinstall and copied them to ARC directoy and compiled the sources. The
Sysinstall Screen comes up on the ARC/NEC IMAGE Platform.
I am going to do some testing on it to verify that it is working properly
and after necessary modifications may be we can include this into ARC Build
also.
In the mean time is there any thing else I should watch out for pitfalls as
I am testing this ? At this time I am doing testing only on NEC Image RISC
Station. As that the only box I have now.
In theory Alpha/ARC bios is same as MIPS/ARC and since SysInst is a userland
program it should be stable.
Any comments and suggestions is welcomed.
Thanks
Prasad Nuli
