What does it mean?
Do you know how many linux users (I don't think most of linux distros
require them to register) are there? How many Windows users? |

Re: question about running disk images downloaded from Sun

downloaded the Software 1&2, installation, and languages compressed iso's,
decompressed them bzip2, burnt the iso disk image, and then booted from the
CD using the newly created disk (roughly something like that anyway).
Do I have to go through this process? Is there a way downloading the

files that are hidden inside the iso file? I have installed Solaris 9 using
all default settings so the applications I have at hand are whatever is
installed default.
Thank you

If you didn't download the cd yet you could also install pkg-get and |
with this you can install all the packages you like , it even checks the
dependicies and install them also.
look here http://www.blastwave.org
What is Blastwave.org ?
Blastwave is a collective effort to create a set of binary packages of
free software, that can be automatically installed to a Solaris computer
(sparc or x86 based) over the network. |

I have a SBPCI128 crd which Solaris 10 recognised, so I did not need the
other driver. |

Check the output from the "dmesg" command or the /var/adm/messages
file: for each IDE/ATAPI device installed in the system Solaris 10 x86
should report which (Ultra-)DMA or PIO mode is used for the device.
You should find something like this:
IDE device at targ 0, lun 0 lastlun 0x0
model WDC WD1000BB-32CCB0
ATA/ATAPI-5 supported, majver 0x3e minver 0x0
UltraDMA mode 5 selected <<<<<<<<<<<<
ATAPI device at targ 1, lun 0 lastlun 0x0
model IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI
ATA DMA off: device not DMA capable/blacklisted <<<<<<<<<<<<
PIO mode 3 selected <<<<<<<<<<<< |

what do you mean by "cannot access" ? Please post a copy
of your /var/adm/messages, prtconf -vp and prtpicl -v output.
You need to ensure that the permissions on the device are
appropriate (I believe Juergen's install script does this),
and that you have the correct driver alias for the device
in /etc/driver_aliases.

After taking out the sb128 card it did not have the 1370 chipset, I |
think it was 4550 or something. I looked around and had a spare sblive
with the emu10k and installed it, with the drivers from bolthole and
walla! I now have sound.
Thanks,
MJ |

Huh? With heavy disk activity (HDD or ATAPI CD/DVD, sequential
accesses) on single cpu systems, there is a big effect on system
performance when DMA transfers are not in use: almost 100% cpu time
spent in kernel handling ide interrupts / pio mode data transfers.
The user often notices this as bad X server performance.
Fortunatelly Solaris 8/9/10 x86 is able to enable and use DMA on IDE
HDDs on most systems, and the release version of Solaris 10 x86 is
supposed to support DMA transfers on ATAPI CD devices, too. |

Install using type 4, "Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)"
After installation, configure the X server with the XF86-VESA driver.
Will do. I was using the other interactive text function (#3) for this,
although I know I used #4 for the ATI card with no success. But I'll
try it anyway since I at least got it installed with the NVidia card.

Indeed use choose 4 , but it's better to use Xorg, because it's support
more graphic cards. |

A lot?
My guess is that you can find these numbers in Microsoft, Redhat, and other
OS vendors' reports to the "wacko" SEC.

I expect that I'll have a go at porting the ext2 driver from Solaris 9
to Solaris 10 when I get round to upgrading. Since the upgrade isn't
going to be totally painless*, this might take a while.
