RE: have win95 and linux, how to add solaris?

I'd say that's doable. just make sure that you have a linux boot disk on hand so you can restore lilo (use mkbootdisk), because if anything goes wrong then you'll need it :) chris Zaigui Wang wrote: > > does it matter which os you install first? I have win95, nt server, > and linux working now,

I can't quite remeber, but I think that solaris wants a whole disk to itself. I wasn't able to get solaris to install with another operating system on the disk, but that was a while ago, and I probably did something wrong. Here's some suggestions: Install Solaris on a disk of it's own. Solaris is
