Original Question: ============================ > I'm thinking about installing Solaris x86 and Windows 2000 on a new > workstation I bought.

I thought that there > was a problem with NT and Solaris on the same, but ... SUMMARY ============= Solaris and Win2k *can* exist on the same physical drive, with Linux even. The real trick is to install Win2k _first_, Solaris second and Linux third (if you want to install Linux). Michael Grice sent me this link, which is very useful for understanding multibooting Solaris with other Operating Systems: http://math.uwb.edu.pl/~mariusz/multiboot Also, Petros Triantafyllidis pointed to this article on SysAdmin Mag from last October: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1323/sam0110b/0110b.htm For responding, much thanks goes out to: ----------------------------- Michael Grice Cameron Worrell Jonathan Jackson Rami Aubourg Steve Humphrey Tajinder Panesar Thomas Jones Daniel Fricot Ronak Shah Paul Frederiksen Hicham EL Akkaoui Petros Triantafyllidis _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Nov 8 09:46:13 2001
