Hi Is it possible to make Linux dual booting with Solaris........... if yes plz tell me how to do it Melwin

Visit this website: http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org/iii/3.html If your Linux know-how is better than Solaris I advise you to use Lilo as your boot manager.

Install Solaris (8) first use fdist to create a 2G partition, or whatever. (Solaris should slice it as needed for you) The Solaris boot manager is irrelevant as it will be overridden. Then install red hat or whatever. Again you can use fdisk to create the partitions. hda2 swap and hda3 /. Linux may want to treat the Solaris partition as swap. Make sure that it does not. Now when you boot you will only get Linux. From Linux as root vi your /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf add the following lines at the bottom: title Solaris 8 (2/02) rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 grub is better and is what I would recomend. If you are going to do this make sure that you have a lot of time to waste. Have fun and good luck learning...
