RE: OT SOLARIS
I am Solaris certified, and I initially learned by hands on. There are some excellent sites, including http://www.stokely.com/unix.sysadm.resources/ being one of them. Also there are Solaris admin books available at your local book store. One of the best UNIX reference books I have found is UNIX in a Nutshell by O'Reilly. I use this book all of the time for reference. For the most part, UNIX is UNIX, except obviously for the specific OS commands. I also concur that http://docs.sun.com is an excellent source, as is contains all of the sun documentation for current, as well as previous versions. If you have any other Q's, please feel free to contact me offline. Thanks. Carl.

RE: OT SOLARIS
Try docs.soalris.com there you have almost everything in PDF format. If you need an accelerated training take a class if not just start working with it. Do everything that you are doing just under Solaris not as usually on a Win box Cristian -Original Message- From: Circusnuts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 10:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT SOLARIS I have a dilemma...

Re: OT: Solaris on RDI laptop
How much RAM do you have on these units? Rather than trying to re-install Solaris, try the following; - Insert Solaris installation CD in the CD drive. - Turn on the machine - it will try to start to solaris installation, but you can abort that by hitting ctrl+c. - You should now be at the # prompt logged in as root. This means you can change the root password, and then look around what's on it, etc. - My suspicion is that you may be trying to install the entire distribution rather than End User or Developer distribution. First try installing bare minimum, but allocate a lot of swap like 2.5 to 3 times the size of your RAM. Good luck. = > Rob Jon McCoy wrote: I was given some old RDI PowerLite laptops to use -- unknown accounts/passwords. I tried to reinstall 2.5.1 desktop from a scsi cdrom drive, but during the install it panics, due to 'panic: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root' error. Anyone more clueful want to lend some guesses? Each laptop performs exactly the same way, so I don't think it's a specific hardware fault.
