Re: [PLUG] Linux for SPARC?

I have found that XFree 4 is really good for autodetection. I usually do:

X -configure.

In the i386 world, I would boot into knoppix and save a copy of
/etc/modules and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Then I install generic debian. No
harder than rh, but faster to getting where I want to go.
