Trying Solaris


I join the rest of you, trying to work with Solaris 9. I got it installed, and am now trying to figure it out. I am quite surprised how different it is from Linux. I guess there are more similiarities than differences, but little things like creating a users home directory, and getting network access it being chanllenging. I am having fun with it though. I hope to learn enough to be able to help others, and greatly appreciate any help others can give me.

Feel free to ask questions when you get stumped.. and yes, there are many similarities but so many differences as well..

When you installed Solaris 9, have you done a clean install or dual boot, as I am having real probelms trying to dual boot with the dreaded Redmond Operating System _ Windoze(Sorry, no choice, the Missus won't touch anything else)

Problem, I dont have a floppy drive so I need to boot form CD, but it is giving me an error and asks if I wish to debug?
