A bootable SPARC install CD with a text based installer is under active development (no ETA for it's general availability). That said, using the AI images starting from build 130 you can boot them on both SPARC and x86 machines and do an automated installation without needing to setup all of the infrastructure that the automated installer requires. http://blogs.sun.com/aalok/entry/automated_installer_from_media > That said, thanks Hillel for the link, but where oh where is the > location for a bootable Sparc installation CD? The build 130 automated installer images can be had at: http://genunix.org/distributions/indiana/osol-dev-130-ai-sparc.iso http://genunix.org/distributions/indiana/osol-dev-130-ai-x86.iso Cheers, -- Glenn
