DCLinux Mirror

Hey all,

I've been looking for a site that has the DCLinux image. Any site that used to host it doesn't have it anymore and the m17n.org FTP server asks for a login name and password. I tried logging in anonymously, but it won't work. Does anyone know where the image is being hosted so I could download it?

Thanks,
Chryzmo

Did you try http://linuxdc.sourceforge.net/ ?

*Edit* I don't actually see any links to images and whatnot there... There was also one based on Slackware. I believe it was called DreamSlack, but google doesn't return much in the way of English-Language sites for that.

I've seen that site. It has some information about different drivers and what not. However, there isn't any information about how to get the image.

I saw a page on Linux Devices about how to make my own DCLinux disc, but I'd really like ot use the RedHat/eCos one first. This is the one I can't find anywhere.

boob.co.uk did host it, but that link has been dead for a while.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxdc

EDIT - Oops. I just noticed that there are no files to download there.

I've seen the source forge page and tried a few other pages. I looked at every link Google brought back. I only found three pages that hinted at ever hosting the images. Two of them have dead links now and the FTP server I found won't let me log in at all.

Perhaps there is a BitTorrent that someone may be hosting that I could download from or something like that?

If someone's willing to make a working CD image of DCLinux and upload it somewhere, we'd be happy to host it at DC Evolution, I have an ISO of DCLinux but I never got the thing to work

- so there's more chance of hell freezing over before I upload anything to the server.

Hmm... Well I've never actually made a Dreamcast ISO, but I've used Linux on various PCs for a few years now. I'll look into it sometime this weekend. With that tutorial on Linux Devices, I can probably make my own ISO.

I'll look into it this weekend and post what I come up with.

hey,

The linuxDC project is at sourceforge , but files are on cvs :
you need to install cvs ( i only know how to do with linux ,sorry )
install cvs with your package manager and :

1/ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@linuxdc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/linuxdc"

2/ cvs login

3/ cvs checkout linux-sh-dc

There is also a complete "stage" recently build with the new gentoo release :
you can get here : http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
go through a mirror and look for "experimental/sh/stages/stage3.tar.bz2"

You have to build a bootcd with these files .
I don't know really much more , i'm working on it

PS: if someone knows where to get a "cheap

" BBA , it will be great.
