Is it possible?

[babeo]

Hi there

we have a Silicon machine, and I want to install SUN Solaris 2.6 on this machine.

- Is it possible to do it?
- If yes, then do I have to pay attention to anything such as driver, hardware, partition method, etc..
- And if it is a yes, how do I do
Thanks

I would have to say, it may be possible. I've never done it, but if you want to hear it straight from the horses mouth, go to

http://www.sun.com

or /docs.sun.com and do some research. If it is possible, there will be installation guides etc... for you to use in completing the task. d3funct

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

Thanks d3funct

I would do a search on your suggestion site, however, just scanning some sites, I don't see they are talking about installing Solaris on Silicon machine, but most are just the ads on partnership.

Solaris basically has two versions 1. for Sparc processors and 2. for Intel processors.
I don't know if anyone has tried to port Solaris to run on any other processor architecture, but I doubt it.
