So I'm in the process of getting things loaded up on an Indigo2 I've had sitting around for a while and I'm at the point where I'm ready to get some packages from Nekoware loaded onto it. Fortunately, there's enough mirrors of the actual Nekoware FTP that having the original site gone is not a serious impediment...or so I thought. Problem is, every Nekoware package I download and try to load as a tardist in Software Manager depends on a couple (packagename).sw.eoe or whatever packages that aren't listed on the FTP itself. I don't know if this is a case of Software Manager not knowing what to do with Nekoware packages even though they're distributed in tardist format, or what. I remember when I was first setting up shop on my O2 there was a shell script that basically served as an IRIX counterpart to apt-get for Nekoware - but, while archive.org has the script itself, it requires curl or wget, which require Nekoware dependencies, which leaves me trying to pull this thing up by its own bootstraps...am I missing a step here? How do I actually get this thing set up from scratch on a fresh IRIX install?
