Update: Attempt #2 is going well, it's rapidly heading towards Stage 3. The main thing about this one is that I'm doing it from the 8890 directly and NOT from an ssh session on my desktop (apparently it would either compile or...

No, its not RAID, not willing to spend any more money on that right now. I do have a second disk, but it's 40 Gig @ 5400 RPM with 16 Meg cache; It's used as Ghost, VCD, and AV storage. As far as options, yes. I booted on the smp...

Hi all, an update... Stage 1 Bootstrap succeeded, sort of: Had IDE/DMA errors on console while trying to unpack and setup gcc, though it finished anyway. So I went forward on emerge system before getting some sleep (I've also been...

My roommate had a Promise RAID boot disk he imaged with Ghost, it worked. Major questions regarding how to use ghost can be found on the Radified site: www.radified.com, including a nice PDF file for those who wants a guide to travel...

Well, after much fussing about, I began to try and put Solaris x86 on my 8890. It appears, however, that this version of the OS is currently too fussy for it. I found a HCL note from Sun here after several failed config...

I'm using Mozilla (1.6/Solaris at work, 1.7 RC2/3-WinXP at home). Starting to investigate the AdBlock plugin as AdSubtract is IE only now (also looking at Muffin as it would run on Solaris hosts too ). Mozilla was needed for Solaris...
