Ah, ok. You probably saw my question earlier this week about this machine. I had posted to the solaris list first to find out more about the machine, which I know nothing about. (I now realize that this list was the place to ask my problem.) One of the posts said: "If you're on an Ultra 60, you're not using a SPARC64 - that was a 64-bit SPARC chip made by HaL (later bought out by Fujistu). I assume you really mean "an UltraSparc running in 64-bit mode." So that made me wonder why it was called a sparc64. Anyway, if curious you can see the thread at: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=xx-elmer&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&frame=right&th=7a22f4c0e87d112c&seekm=43125ccc.0209041413.13c8f31a%40posting.google.com#link2 With a little linux bashing at the end ;) Thanks, -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
