It is recommended to install IRIX via a network for ease of use. IRIX has a rather unique and comprehensive network installing method, and as a result of it's convenience, performance and utility, many users have created guides on how to do it. This serves as the meta hub.

General

  • rsh
  • tftp
  • bootp

The host must in most cases be a UNIX compatible with UNIX permissions, on the same LAN. IRIX PROMs do not possess routing, ICMP echoes (It cannot respond to pings), or the ability to take HTTP or rsync.
