| 14 |
Challenge S. Since these machines are very similar, whenever this document
|
| 15 |
refers to the SGI Indy, the Indigo 2 and Challenge S are meant as well.

at the <ulink url="&url-linux-mips;">Linux-MIPS homepage</ulink>. In the
|

following, only the systems supported by the Debian installer will be
|

Some MIPS machines can be operated in both big and little endian mode. For
|
| 46 |
little endian MIPS, please read the documentation for the mipsel
|
