Well, i got stucked at "reading CD/DVD for installing operating system" faze, better said, no readings, no input available, so i shutdown it -f let`s say so (from the great great button).
I`ll go to read some more and maybe try another install.

I succeded finally to go further with installation, through interactive text desktop way, which is much faster than the default interactive one, but Solaris (10.5) only "sees" the Windows C partition and the extended one.
As i don`t want to get rid of Windows, or make the rest of the drive only for Solaris, pls advice what to do next - i have "prepared" (right now is FAT32, but before was unformatted and still "invisible" as "right place to install there" for Solaris) on extended volume 10 GB for it... just how can i point it to install there? What FS is to be seen as "OK"?Or, what to do?
In addition, i have only 1 hard disk, so that`s it, those 10 GB is the best i can do for Solaris.

You have 4 partition slots in the partition table in sector 0. The first is a primary for windows. The second is an extended partition that points to the chain of logical partitions. So define another primary partition for Solaris. Set the type to 0xBF and Solaris 10 will recognize it. Now install Solaris in that 10 GB primary.

OK...i have to admit... i did it through wind - partition magic, but i did it... now Solaris is ON (installed and functional), ready to fill my needs of testing, which...speaking about:
- Why keeps booting without network card interface enabled??? I installed the drivers, enabled the card, dhcp created files, modified files (hostname, defaultrouter).... everything was ok until next reboot, when surprize, only the loopback interface is "seen".
I had lot of work at my job, and still have, so if anybody knows a quick answer to this, thanks, if not, i`ll search and find something, sometime...
