Hiya, I am still having problems with installing 5.3 on a SUN U10. I cannot install from the CDs, bit 5.4 and 5.3. I get a short read - file does not appear to be executable error. I have tied it with CD's I have burnt and ones from a supplier. Following a suggestion, I have also burn the iso images onto high grade CDs, this still did not work - same error. The U10 does have Solaris 9 installed and this can read the CD and all appears to be correct. I have tried charging the CDROM on the U10, but it refuses to recognise the replacement CDROM as being there. Thishappens with 2 different CDROMs not sure why this is. I've tried reset-all but this does not make any difference. Any suggestions? I can get the boot only iso to boot. However, whilst this allows me into the FreeBSD OS on the CD and start sysinstall, I cannot delete the Solaris slices, so I cannot setup the disk to install FreeBSD via FTP. Is there any way round this? Rob
