hi over there, i try to setup sol8 in my vmware on w2k using iso files. the steps order during the installation is very different from what is described in the pdf doc. when i reboot after the installation complete, i have a graphical interface, but without any windows in it ... and i'm stuck there. i can right click and in "programs" i have "console" and "terminal". the doc says a welcome message should appear :-( i passed successfully the installation stages, configured my partition correctly etc. the only thing different is that i have 3 virtual cd drives for : 1. install cd 2. soft cd 1 3. soft cd 2 and after the partition configuration, fdisk did not activate the x86boot partition. i had to boot on an image of a dos disk drive to run the dos fdisk and activate the right partition. does anybody ever had this problem ? any help will be appreciated ! thx in advance, bertrand (brussels)
