I'm running the Solaris 10 install program now. After much futzing
everything seems to be going ok. It called for a reboot in mid-install,
and I couldn't see how to boot Solaris, since I hadn't changed the boot
manager. Turns out there's a way to order the computer to boot from the
Solaris partition, and I figured it out through trial and error.

But that leaves me wondering how I'll set up the boot manager. Will I have
to install a new one for Solaris, or can I add Solaris to the Linux GRUB
boot manager I've already got? It works fine for Windows and Linux and I'd
just as soon keep it and add Solaris. Can one do so? And how?

Thanks!
