Re: Solaris 8i on Intel

Hi,

I believe you are correct.

I have an Intel system here at home with 2 x 40Gb hard drives which I can boot from separately.

On one HDD I have installed RedHat Linux 6.2 (glibc-2.1.3) and Oracle 8.1.7 EE, the other I have installed Solaris 8 (Intel Platform Edition) and Oracle 8.1.7 EE (Release 3 for Solaris Intel).

Within the Sun Solaris 8 (Intel) CDROM box came numerous CDROM's - one being an Oracle 8.1.7 for Solaris 8 (Intel).

Thanks,
