Help for a new O2 owner
Hi everyone, I got an O2 from work as they were going to scrap it. I bought a 73gig drive off of Ebay with Irix 6.5 and a TON of software already installed. So my questions are when I boot up the system there are a lot of things the system starts up that I don't need, so how can I disable them from starting up without removing them.

Another question is some of the software such as Maya is locked to another systemid, so how can I work around that.

And the last one (for now at least) is my PROM is 4.18, can I install 128Meg memory modules in my system as I read somewhere that you need 4.4? I tried running flashinst -T -y /usr/cpu/firmware/ip32prom.image and I get back bad PROM revision.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
