Description Stuart Longland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-30 05:36:55 UTC
The following are my updates to the Gentoo/MIPS Handbook.

Changes:

mips-medium.xml:
o Minimum Requirements update -- people will have a lot of problems trying to run Gentoo in under 128MB these days, especially when compiling things like gcc.
o MIPS1 stages now available for little-endian systems (with note that we still only support Cobalt at this time)
o Endianness update: DECstations no longer listed.
o ISA Levels: mention that multiple revisions exist for MIPS32 and MIPS64
o Minor cleanups

mips-disk.xml:
o Removed reference to arcboot
o s/ReiserFS/ReiserFSv3/

Heads up: when I get around to doing so, I'll be producing new netboot images that use libata.  This will mean hda will become sda.

mips-stage.xml:
o s|/gentoo|/mnt/gentoo| -- newer netboot images use the latter directory.
o Mention where to get little-endian MIPS1 stages
o Verifying integrity using sha1sum

mips-system.xml:
o Profiles: s/2006.1/2007.0/
o NPTL: Users encouraged to give it a try.

mips-kernel.xml:
o Cleanups of stale documentation
o Correction of a typo regarding /usr/src/linux link
o Removed comment about ip28_defconfig (2.6.14 is no longer in the tree)

mips-bootloader.xml:
o arcload able to read many filesystems now
o s|/gentoo|/mnt/gentoo|

No need to be CCed, I'm already on the docs-team alias.

Will start working on this; I already put in some similar changes given to me by Kumba.

Fixed in draft!
