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.
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?
