Solaris 8 hasn't been downloadable for free since 2005 at least, nothing Oracle merger related.

Milax (an OpenSolaris distribution) is documented to run in CLI mode with 128 MB of RAM:
MilaX minimal Live Distribution (Project milax.WebHome) - XWiki

Thanks everybody very much for all the reply' s!!!

I want a graphic user interface. Thanks a lot for searching! Maybe there a other distrubutions of Solaris that will work on my system.

I don't know or Milax will work on my system because I have a Sparc processor.

All reply's are welcome!!!!! SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

there ARE solaris distributions that work... but they are not free downloadable... so?!?! if you need a GUI, use a PC and install solaris 10 x86.

That's probably quite ambitious by today's standards. However, you might be able to run an X server and a lightweight window manager at a reasonable speed with some tuning.

Milax definitely supports SPARC along with x86 and x64 architectures.
