Hi all, This is a short one, as it’s way past my bedtime as I write this. I’ve been quiet lately; non-existent on IRC and IM channels, and not a lot of activity. I’ve been doing a lot of work out at Laidley earning an income, and thus Gentoo has taken a bit of a [...]

Well… it has been a while… No, I haven’t gone AWOL, just been busy with other things for the past few months. I’m now in the process of updating my MIPS boxes so that I can resume testing packages. I now have a stable kernel on my O2 (I nicked Debian’s kernel image… to install [...]
Well… I’ve been busy getting the boxes into shape ready for new stagebuilds and a heap of other activities. I have Firefox 3.5 going on mipsel… albeit a little shakey. I’ve got 99% of KDE 4.3 going also, again, a few glitches. I have turned my attention for the time being to the SGI machines [...]
Well… after much building by one of the older Lemote systems, I finally have a Gentoo desktop with KDE 4.3.0 on the Lemote Yeeloong. I’m still working on the rest of the KDE suite… and will have to track down the necessary bits and pieces for battery monitoring and other goodies… but it seems everything [...]
Well… three bits of news to share… I can’t be stuffed doing three separate posts however, so I’ll stuff all three into the one, it puts less load on the servers involved. X.org working on Yeeloong I managed to get X going on the Yeeloong within Gentoo… I’m currently battling problems with Python 2.6 not [...]
Well… I’ve been quiet, but slowly, I’m preparing what will become a port of Gentoo/MIPS to the Lemote Yeeloong. I have it booting off a USB HDD for now, sans X11, but I’m working on that. The kernel at present needs some patches not yet present in the Linux/MIPS kernel tree. To build a kernel, [...]
It has been a while, but I can safely say I have returned. Not sure what the next step is… looking for paid employment I guess, but I have passed all subjects this semester, which should mean that I am now qualified in IT and Electrical Engineering as a graduate. After the last exam, I [...]
Well… it’ll be a while before I get around to porting Gentoo to the Yeeloong in earnest, however this is the first step. The following are some notes for those who may wish to go ahead and set up Gentoo. Toolchain For both the Yeeloong, and the Loongson 2F-based Fulong, you’ll need the latest gcc [...]
Hi All, Well, I’ve just dusted off the second Lemote Fulong here, and I’m booting it up for another round of stagebuilds. (Yes… I haven’t gotten around to locating and implementing the auto stagebuild scripts that everyone else seems to be using.) I’m also getting a newer piece of MIPS kit… a Lemote Yeeloong is [...]
Hi all… Well, after a long hiatus, I’m working on new stages for the Gentoo/MIPS port. These new ones will be based on uClibc, and are a compliment to the existing glibc-based stages. At the moment, the initial seed environment is still being cross-compiled from my i686 host, and for now I’m focussing on mipsel [...]
