OK, I fully understand why you said that ;) Can't say I wasn't aware ;).

Any idea which one I should pick?

Hi guys, me again :).

So, got a good news. Solaris 10 has been installed properly reaching 100% without any warnings. After reboot, I was really surprised to see I had network connexion. Opened a...

I will see if I still have troubles with network when the system is installed/started (during...

Hi gull04 & DukeNuke2
