Well, Solaris actually works ok. I've got 2.5.1 installed on
another disk. It boots within a minute or so, and within another
minute after logging in, it's running OpenWindows and has Netscape
started. Not exactly blazingly fast, but ok with me.

I'm doing the installation via CD. This system is at home, and
I don't have another machine to boot from. Also, there is no
floppy drive in the system. Going into this I thought installing
from CD would be the least problematic approach. It appears, however,
that most people who have installed Linux on the old SparcStations
have done so over the net. It looks like the process of installing
from CD hasn't been thoroughly debugged yet.
Thanks,
