[SunRescue] Re: [SPARCbook] color depth

[Ken Hansen]

Have you reviewed Red Hat's Sparc manual?

And to the best of my knowledge, ISO images of SOlaris 2.6 are not freely available... It is covered under a different license scheme than Solaris 8, you would need to either buy a copy of the release (try ebay or the vendor links of sunhelp.org) or get a license from Sun and borrow someone elses media.

Once Upon A Time, Solaris 2.6 was available for home use for a small fee, but that was quickly replaced by Solaris 7 and then Solaris 8. WHen the next became available, the prvious one was pulled from the offer.

HTH,

Ken

Does anyone know where I can get Solaris 2.6 ISO CD images?  I looked on
Sun's site, but they only have Solaris 8 available now.

On an unrelated issue, I've been having problems compiling a Linux kernel
on both the Sprcbook and on my SS2.  Everything appears to go OK until I
try to boot the new kernel, when it fails dismally.  Unfortunately I'm
not at the machine right now so can't post the exact error message, but
if someone could tell me what I need to do different from on x86 (other
than the silo vs lilo thing), then I'd be grateful.
