Bitter? Why??? Let's look at the cold hard facts...how old is your Ultra1 today? I know folks like the Ultra2 especially (hi Ben!;-) a lot also, and in their time the systems were good, but how old is that product? I honestly don't know, but they're old... My point is, tell me one vendor that will support hardware that old on the very lastest OS. Keep in mind, Sun still supports your hardware on Solaris 9, so I'm not sure why you're so upset, but 10 is that much better.;-) Those are still functional systems and will do much of what folks need to do. > > Why not install S10 GA on there, which most likely ships on it, and then > > do a -I (Cap-Eye) install to put an additional kernel on there. > > What is that?

That's why I said you can probably get them off a Solaris 10 GA CD, which you can download for free. The Sun product should include the SHWP code. Use it and build OpenSolaris with it. I would contact Fujitsu, it's their hardware. My experience with Fujitsu is pretty positive. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
