Deferring this bug. I will reopen if plans for a future Sparc release arise. SPARC is not a supported platform. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Installing 6.2 on sun sparcstation 2 (32MB RAM) over http connection through serial console (ttya). After setting partitions using disk druid (or fdisk), i get the following message: As you don't have much memory in this machine, we need to turn on swap space immediately. To do this we'll have to write your new partition table to the disk immediately. Is that okay? Selecting yes, i get the following error: Red Hat Linux (C) 2000 Red Hat, Inc.
