I don't know how Solaris handles multi-OS systems. Better check the Manuals. If Solaris uses LILO(which is highly unlikely), then you have no problem, as toggling the default OS to boot is easy with LILO. But I guess Solaris has their own version of LILO(Can anyone confirm this?). Anyway, don't forget to check online docs for more info. Good luck! :) -------------- Yardan Ambrose Certified Penguin Enthusiast [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
