For Beginners: Installation Instructions
Name: Mike Date: January 25, 2002 at 12:25:00 Pacific
Comment:
This message is for beginners who don't know where to turn to get Solaris installed on their x86 machine. Drop me a return address if you need detailed instructions. I was in your shoes just last year. Good instructions are impossible to find. So I documented my own installation instructions for Solaris 8, Oracle 8.1.7, and Samba 2.2.2. They are as thorough as I could make them; I have used them for multiple installations, as have two dozen other guys. (Have received some positive feedback, no negative feedback.)
My instructions assume you have a generic motherboard with a P3 processor and no less than 256 Meg of memory; an ethernet card (I prefer 3Com 905C; drivers load automatically), and all video cards, monitors, drives, etc., are found on the Hardware Compatibility list. I use older equipment, and they work great! Do not expect audio output to speakers, USB ports to work, games to run, nor the parallel port to work to a parallel-port printer. Those drivers seem not to exist anywhere, and cannot be set up within Solaris. This installation can be networked to one or more Windows boxes. They can be used as Internet proxy servers, print servers, etc. My instructions will also let you install Oracle 8.1.7 upon Solaris. If you try loading Oracle, you will REALLY benefit from my instructions!)
My instructions don't address any fancy configuration such as dual boots. They also assume you have a full set of factory-made CD's for your files. (NOTE: If drivers for parallel ports, USB ports, audio, and games do really exist, I have no idea wher they are. Maybe someone else can inform us all...)
