andreas, thanks for the suggestion. we are experiencing some difficulties with a dual-boot laptop dell latitude in addition to the dual-boot server/desktop sunblade 100. the grub installation, specifically the configfile, on the laptop was incorrect, and we will post a fix to this list. Then we'll get back to the blade. in any case, it has been a great learning experience. also, there were some problems getting the integrated wireless card on the laptop to work under solaris. the chipset is broadcom (vendor 0x14e4; device 0x4311). we have to use ndiswrapper with the windowsxp driver to make it work under solaris. we will post a fix and comments in case others want to try a similar setup. -- TT _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
