Hi Alan.... Firstly, thank you very much for the very good explanation.
My bought the cd from sun's website. Part No.708-0205-10.November 2006. Rev-A. It's Solaris 10. OK, I'll try the 'Ctrl-Alt-Backspace' 4-5 times. I haven't tried that threat. I only try 2 times. Let me try it and if I don't succeeded than please allow me to come up in this mailing-list for further questions. Thank's alot. === On Fri, 27 Jul 2007 08:24:56 -0700 Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith at sun.com> wrote: > What version of Solaris did you install? > > What "configuration test" said the system was okay?
