Hi,

Try download doc & faqs & tutorials & distro from:

ftp://ftp.oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips

or RedHat from:

ftp://ftp.oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/redhat

PS: Don't worry about instalation. In directory redhat you can find Getting
started and README. Read it carefully. If you search archive of this conf. you
can find thread about netbooting Indy ( bootp():/vmlinuz ) from PROM monitor
and setting bootpd in linux boot server.
