Star Office 5.0:
    Can I start individual components? Like just a word processor, or
just a presentation tool...


Hard drive stuff:
    I installed Solaris (x86) on my computer using a second hard drive.
I ended up with one giant extended partition and I believe 3 logical
partitions within it. I would like to mount one of the logical
partitions in Linux. Here's what fdisk tells me about /dev/hdb (the
Solaris drive):

[root@sark /root]# fdisk /dev/hdb

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hdb: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 620 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1   *        2        2      617  2483712   82  Linux swap

Looks a little suspicious to me. So here's what happens if I run fdisk
on /dev/hdb1:

[root@sark /root]# fdisk /dev/hdb1

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hdb1: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 620 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes

    Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb11   ?   229479   229647   297169272250807   6f  Unknown
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(102, 110, 32) logical=(229646, 41, 24)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(356, 117, 46) logical=(297168, 108, 8)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(356, 117, 46) should be (356, 127, 63)
/dev/hdb12   ?   172389   173279   405120934785296   20  Unknown
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(356, 111, 33) logical=(173278, 5, 7)
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(332, 83, 15) logical=(405119, 80, 49)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(332, 83, 15) should be (332, 127, 63)
/dev/hdb13   ?      365        1        1        0   6f  Unknown
Partition 3 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(364, 32, 34) logical=(0, 0, 1)
Partition 3 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(302, 99, 43) logical=(532610, 4, 4)
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(302, 99, 43) should be (302, 127, 63)

Command (m for help):

Anyhow I'm a little confused about this.  I can't seem to find disk
druid.....

Lastly, I've been selected to setup a Beowulf cluster at work, I wass
hoping some of you could point in the right direction for research.
Thanks.
