Hmm, I doubt that Solaris will be acceptable on this low-end
machine. You can go for SunOS or a free BSD instead.
However, I have installed Red Hat 4.2 and 5.2 without a hitch via
TFTP/FTP on both an SLC (which shares the SUN4c architecture with the
SPARCStation 1+) and a Classic.
What installation method did you use? Floppy, CD or Network?
