Or is that just what your current minimum happens to be? In case it's not clear, by i386 I do not mean x86 family, I mean the 80386, which Wikipedia tells me had a maximum clock rate of 40MHz. "Before you can deploy Solaris, you must make sure your system can handle it. At a minimum, your system should have a Pentium processor running at 133 Mhz. Solaris recommends that the system run at least 500 Mhz." http://www.techrepublic.com/article/preparing-to-install-solaris-9-on-an-intel-server/5056145 "Minimum system requirements are as follows: Pentium CPU (PII is better - see below) " http://www.parkansky.com/tutorials/bdlogsol.htm#install Even if it technically runs (which the www tells me it doesn't), do you have any OpenCSW users on i386 or are you crippling the software to support non-existent users? Good luck! :-)
