Has anyone put together an easy-to-install tar file, similar to the old hard-hat 5.1 tarfile, where you could install everything though an install program running on a nfs server ?
I really like the old hard-hat approach, it was easy to install and everything seems to work, but it would be nice to have a newer release. The old hard-hat install program doesn't work with the new 2.4.0 kernel.

There is a big endian glibc 2.2 debian base - Look at ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian-local/mips. I hope to produce something similar for mipsel with the next days.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

At this time we don't have an easy installer for it. I intend to strip down an RH 7.0 installation which I'm running on an Origin here and put it up for ftp somewhen soon.

Great, please let me know when you have done it.

Any progress on the RH7.0 easy installer ?

Are we talking a bootable CD? If so, I'd *kill* for it!
