TA-Linux is a small multiplatform Linux distribution with main goal to be
small and support as many different architectures as possible.
More information can be found here: http://talinux.tal.org/

A tftp sparc boot image is now available for testing on sparc32
It has been tested on my SparcServer 10 and worked fine but there are NO
guaranties :)
You need to know the following if you are going to test:

- Use normal install mode, expert is not ready
- The image does contain a sun4u kernel but it's not testes as can't get my
only Ultra to boot over the net. And it would be quite useless as
there is no kernel package for sun4u available at this time
- URL for http install: http://hotel.tal.org/pub/current/sparc/
- Use ext2 for filesystem for now
- After the installation, edit /instroot/etc/silo.conf and run silo -f -r
/instroot

After that it should work :)

You can find the tftpboot image file here:
