Solaris Installation Last week I tried a couple of experiments with installation for fun. I had to install Solaris on a laptop and then install Blastwave/Companion CD stuffs/Soffice etc..etc... I knew it would take long time for setting it up but I had flasharchive which was fully configured which was taken from Acer Ferrari 4000 Laptop. Following were the list of things I had.

* Laptop which was Intel 32bit architecture.
* Acer Ferrari 4000 flasharchive which was taken for AMD64 architecture.
* Flasharchive was Solaris 11 build 38.
* I had Solaris 11 build 40 DVD

So I booted laptop with Solaris 11 build 40 DVD and installed build 38 flasharchive which was taken from Acer Ferrari Laptop on Intel P3 machice it worked without any issue. Posted by pradhap ( Jun 23 2006, 07:40:02 PM PDT ) Permalink
