I burned the DVD. Will it install solaris on this third partition without trouble? Will I be able to continue to use the FreeBSD bootloader or do I need to isntall sol's grub? The documentation on SUN and solaris is huge. Many many pdf files.. Are there better ways then these pdf's? Good books on solaris 10? Starting points on the net? I ask here because I know lot of you guys here have also installed solaris 10 (at least I remember seeing it here) Hope to get some advice and reading points. I have years of experience with linux and FreeBSD and like to explore new (OS) challences. -- dick -- http://nagual.nl/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.1 ++ The Power to Serve
