This information was sufficient for me.

http://docs.sun.com/ab2/coll.214.7/x86INFOLIB/@Ab2PageView/2536?Ab2Lang=C&Ab2Enc=iso-8859-1

The last week I installed Solaris 8 1/01 and I had installed Windows 98. Now, I can select what O.S. I like to use.


Sincerely

Lago

I have downloaded sol-8-1_01-install-fcs-bin-ia-ml with the other 2 installation files, how do I now start the install?

It seems like all the docs refere to cdrom install?
