I've inherited a Sun Ultra5 from the sysadmin (who recently quit) and I'd like
to put Linux on it. I wish I could say that there was some great reason for
this, but it boils down to comfort. All of my computers (PC's) have SuSE linux
on them (v.7.3), so I'd like to christen this one as well.
Wise choice.
So, the question: is there a step-by-step for this? Can this be downloaded? I
am assuming that I can't just use the distributions that I have. Or can I?? I'm
thinking I only need a Ultra5 image and then I can use the 7.3 CD's that I
already purchased to do the rest.
Download and burn the iso images from ftp.suse.com or a complete mirror
that includes the SPARC isos.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! By the way, if I've left off some
details about the machine, it's because I'm not to clear on them. It has a
CDROM, a floppy drive, and I believe 256MB of RAM. That's about all I can
figure out for now. I get around Linux very well, but getting around Solaris
has been a little daunting.
I've installed SuSE 7.1 on a Sparcstation 5 with a 1xCDROM and 128M...
no problems. Limited to 256 colors (8bit) and I used IceWM instead of
KDE (used an import utility to move the KDE menus to IceWM) for speed.
Thanx in advance!!!
