>So you have to download an ISO to a working Unix or Linux OpSYS to install ?
No, if you had ISO images, you needed to burn physical disks. Then you would boot the special install disk, after issuing the appropriate OpenBoot PROM command. And you needed to boot from a CDROM drive that had a certain special capability, something that most PC drives lacked. Even though this was supposedly an "Open System", 1998 was still the era of closed hardware as far as Sun was concerned. This is all to the best of my recollection, since the last time I did this was back in 2001. Anyone want to buy a bunch of SparcStation 4's and 5's? How about the Sun 22 inch monitor - it must weigh 75 lbs? ;-) John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
