I have read up on the previous posts about copying cadp160 and sunwadp from the sol 10 dvd. Initially, that worked with an osol 2008.05 (??). But I was testing distros and wiped it clean. Now I realize, that openindiana is probably the best choice for this machine. Since, it is going to be a glassfish/mysql server. Now trying to do the same trick with the openindiana cd and I get an 'unable to process data stream' when I try to install the packages. The directories were copied from the sol 10 dvd to /var/spool/pkg directory. Is the openindiana incompatible with sol 10 svr4 packages or should I use sxce? Several people mentioned better luck using sxce. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of sxce -- since it went the way of the do-do bird. Did download the driver from adaptec for solaris 8 -- you can trick it to see the drives, but it will timeout for a complete install is made. And yes, I have heard the upgrade hardware clause -- but it is a dual xeon 2.8 with 8gig of memory and 6 x 150gig 10k rpm. So, initially, it is worth salvaging
