Ok I've try this before, but the command is not recognized by the OB.
I will check the Debian version I can get today. Also if I have to install Redhat or any similar OS please let me know cause at the moment I need to get this machine working.
The reason for this install is because the driver for my USB modem only exist for Linux, I cannot find any solaris driver. So biggup to Linux....

Thanks a lots jsilva.
