---yep..in fact i allocated a partition already just for another O.S. to be installed...kinda paranoid about the effect of installing the solaris system together with an existing linux kasi..but if it doesnt do any harm...just plain install over the allocated partition then i guess it would be ok...but wait will the MBR be overwritten or modified after the solaris intallation?? thanks lloyd _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
