Subject: RE: Sparcserver 10 install Date: Monday 05 July 2004 09:27 From: "Nick [Stone]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Paul, I'd love to know why this happens, because then I can finally use my SS20 for something useful ;-) From the response I got I think SILO needs to be called with more/different parameters to the ones being set up on the CD, but as this was an attempt at my first Linux install I've nowhere near enough experience to know what to change :-( Anyone? ...please?
