Sorry for the confusion. I have three partitions on my HDD All of them primary. The first two are the C and D drives on windows. The third and last partition is the solaris partion I want to split the second one into two using linux fdisk to create the swap and / partiotions and install linux there Thus I would end up with four primary partitions, which is ok. > > And don't get stuck up on grub issues, if that poses problems. > If your Windows partition is 32 bit, you can use an alternate > boot loader called xosl: > http://www.ranish.com/part/xosl.htm > > Or, if you want to make it independent, you may use GAG: > http://gag.sourceforge.net/ I'll have to take a look at GAG and XOSL. Otherwise I like the solution proposed by Shiv and Anil 1) Install UBuntu 2) Copy the conents of Ubuntu's menu.lst somewhere. 3) Rescue Solaris GRUB using Indiana/Belenix livecd 4) Add entry for Ubuntu to Solaris GRUB > <http://gag.sourceforge.net/> > > More choices are available, and you won't be stuck ... > > Best wishes, > > Bish > > -- Warm Regards, Manish Chakravarty ---- Associate Software Developer Spike Source +919980250606 --- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
