I successfully installed win98, and tried to install Redhat. After attempting multiple setups, I could not successfully install, but each time got this error:
followed by umounting messages, etc.
What can I do to prevent this? I have tried using fdisk to turn off the "dos compatibility flag" (if that even helps) to no avail.

Hi,
I have a dual boot server with Windows on C0t0d0 and Solaris 10 on C1t0d0. When I do a reboot it automatically boots with Windows as default without an option to boot onto Solaris. I want to set Solaris as my default boot.
any ideas?
Thanks,

I installed Fedora on the new 500 GB HD and tried putting the Fedora boot partition... (5 Replies)

install
INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual INSTALL(1)NAME
install - install binaries
SYNOPSIS
install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2
install [-cs] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
DESCRIPTION
The file(s) are moved (or copied if the c option is specified) to the target file or directory. If the destination is a directory, then
the file is moved into directory with its original filename. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten if permissions allow.
c Copy the file. This flag turns off the default behavior of install where it deletes the original file after creating the target.
f Specify the target's file flags. (See chflags(1) for a list of possible flags and their meanings.)
g Specify a group.
m Specify an alternate mode. The default mode is set to rwxr-xr-x (0755). The specified mode may be either an octal or symbolic
value; see chmod(1) for a description of possible mode values.
o Specify an owner.
s Install exec's the command strip(1) to strip binaries so that install can be portable over a large number of systems and binary
types.
By default, install preserves all file flags, with the exception of the ``nodump'' flag.
The install utility attempts to prevent moving a file onto itself.
Installing /dev/null creates an empty file.
Upon successful completion a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned.
SEE ALSO chflags(1), chgrp(1), chmod(1), cp(1), mv(1), strip(1), chown(8)HISTORY
The install utility appeared in 4.2BSD.
