Really? I'd thought it was the entire OS (BTW,
I'm pretty sure NeXTStep
3.3
will also run on it). I'm curious, do you happen
to know if a
configureation like you're talking about will run on a dual processor
Sparc 20? I'd wouldn't mind the ability to run the Lighthouse apps
http://www.peak.org/next/apps/LighthouseDesign on my Sparc 20, and OmniWeb
would be cool also.
I've got OPENSTEP 4.2, but have only run it on x86 (and unfortunatly that
HD
died).
There were two (actually three) releases on the Sparc. One that was
officially from
NeXT running NeXTStep/OpenStep and one from Sun which used OpenStep.
OpenStep on
Sparc died like the dinosaurs. I downloaded the beta from Sun's website a
while back
and LightHouse I believe patched the official version and released an
unofficial version
of OpenStep for Sparc. I downloaded it from somewhere, but dont know where.
It is
pretty big though. Hold on, let me try to find the site....
Well here is the official link to Sun's openstep where I downloaded it:

Found it!! Here is OpenStep 1.1 unofficially released with a lot of bug
fixes. You
can find OpenStep 1.0 there as well:
