Dual boot Solaris 8 and RH 8 on a sparc machine (ultra 2)

[ponetguy2]

Hello,

I recently purchased an ultra 2. I will install Solaris 8 as soon as I recieve my new box. Once this mission is complete, I would like to dual-boot this machine with RedHat 8. Can anyone tell me where is the best place to find information on this task.

Specs:
ultra 2
dual processor 300mhz
dual hard drive SCSI 9.1 Gig
1g of RAM

Cheers,
ponetguy2

Do you have the RH8 for the SPARC platform?
Check the compatibility list for Ultra 2 with Redhat 8.

RH 8, as far as I know is for Intel. I thought RH 8 is compatible with sparc machines. This is what I was told by me colleagues at work. Thanks for the reminder, I neglected to check the compatibility between the two. I should really look it up, instead of listen to my Linux geek colleagues.

Thanx Chandu
