Yes, you need the libraries, of course. Mainly, just about everything in /lib just to be sure. > I suspect that the installation CD is no longer available!) > b) Do I need to recompile the kernel for solaris emulation or does debian > 3.0 already come with this option on? modprobe solaris > c) Does it work for all kind of solaris binaries? It "works". But it cannot emulate core Solaris kernel functions. Things like asynchronous disk i/o, solaris kernel modules, some obscure ioctl's, etc... > d) Anything that I should know before going for it? You're best of using the stuff in a chroot. Easier to keep it seperate, and works better. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
