I doubt that Red Hat 6.2 is available. If I understand it correctly Red Hat does not
support MIPS themselves.
>From the Mips how-to ( http://www.linux.sgi.com/mips/mips-howto.html ):
"Silicon Graphics Indy
The Indy is currently the only (mostly) supported Silicon Graphics machine. The only
supported graphics card is the Newport card aka
``XL'' graphics. The Indy is available with a large number of CPU options at various
clock rates all of which are supported. There is
currently no X server available for the Indy; Ulf Carlsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is
working on one. "
and
"4. Linux distributions.
4.1 RedHat
For MIPSeb, there's Rough Cuts Linux, previously known as Hard Hat Linux, which is
most of Red Hat Linux 5.1 ported for MIPSeb. You
can get this at ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/hardhat.
It is also bundled along with M68k, UltraSparc and PowerPC in a package called "Rough
Cuts" pressed by Red Hat, and available wherever
Red Hat products are sold. This is a very convenient way to get it without having to
download 280MB. You can order Rough Cuts directly
from Red Hat at http://www.redhat.com/product.phtml/RC1000.
As well, there's a distribution based on Red Hat 5.2 that's targetting the Cobalt
Qubes; those binaries will work perfectly on other MIPSel
architectures available at ftp://intel.cleveland.lug.net/pub/Mipsel.
4.2 Debian
A Debian port is underway. Current efforts are being bootstrapped using SGI/Linux as a
base, and dpkg compiles natively with few
changes. In addition to the SGI version, some interest has been shown in little endian
platforms. Keep an eye on the Debian-MIPS Port
page, http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/ for developments. "
