How would it fair though? It's got a superSparc, 1Gb HD and 64Mb Ram. Hardly an ultra, and the standard Solaris 8 Distro. is supposed to consume about 2Gb. I could trim it down though. Is this really my best option though? Do I have enough memory to support it; since I'm only getting binaries and probably won't be able to rebuild my kernel. I've also had trouble with the cdimage that I burned of the solaris 8 install cd. It gives me a "File too short. Boot file may not exist" type warning. Is this at all familiar to you? Cheers, fiq
