On a related note, I attempted to install Solaris 10 into vmware the other
day, and it was an excruciatingly slow process before it finally crapped
out. I actually did a PC install of Solaris (2.6?) back about 1998 or
so. That system ended up being so slow that it was almost unusable.
Plus it had no driver for my bog standard 3M ethernet card. I may give
Solaris 10 another try in vmware when I have a whole day to kill for
the install. It's 3 entire cds, so that's gotta take at least a day.
