Just to comment further.

There is no OI SPARC iso which would facilitate a fresh install. So you would 
have to use something like b134 and upgrade from that to one of the devlopment 
repositories.

This is being discussed at the moment with a view to create a text installer 
iso.

An in progress SPARC build is available for people to try out and find issue
with, as long as they don't mind helping out with some of the packaging
issues.

Discussion is currently ongoing about pushing it up to oi-dev status (the
same as x86 is at the moment).

If you have SPARC, are interested in OI and have a little bit of time to
help iron out issues then that would be great.

If with those caveats, you're still interesting, logging into #oi-dev IRC or
oi-dev mailing list would get you more details and the current build. The
main reason SPARC is lagging behind x86 is finding people with machines who
can help, so it would be greatly appreciated.

HTH,
Deano
