Thanks for the information. Alexey and Fernando... I need to run software that is not supported on OpenSolaris, but is on Solaris... Does anyone know of an Intel emulator for Sparc? I hate to tell the boss we have to buy an Oracle Sun system to do this... It is for test and development, not production, so I was hoping to be the hero here...

Use md5sum checksum to verify images. (software like "WinMD5sum" can help) 2. VirtualBox does not support SPARC. You need x86 version of Solaris.iso 3. No need to burn anything. In virtual world, you can install directly from ISO image. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
