SunOS - fast machine

Hello Experts,
I've been asked to recommend the fastest machine available which
will run the last release of Sun OS (Not Solaris)
I'm pretty sure the SS1000 and SS1000E would run it, but have no first hand
knowledge.
Release 4.1.1 (I think) is running on an SS20 at work. Is that the last
release?
Does anyone know for sure?
What was (is) the last architecture which supported it?

TIA
Les

SunOS - fast machine

SunOS 5.8 is the latest :P

SunOS 4.1.4 is also Solaris 1.1.2

  SunOS = no GUI, Solaris = With GUI (basic difference)

  if you are looking for the last of the 4.x.x releases, 4.1.4 is the last. 
but it is still a version of solaris.

Solaris contains SunOS.

The last architecture that supported SunOS 4 was sun4m.  sun4d
(SS1000/SC2000) will not work.  Your best bets are probably fast SS5's or
SS20's (or a SS600 if you have a need for more than 512MB RAM).

changing shells

How does a user change his own shell permantly? I'm used to *BSD which
has the 'chsh' command. I see users can't do "passwd -e" either. TIA

Minimalist Solaris install...

	Anyway to get Solaris installed in under 300MB? The core system doesn't
seem to include anything optional I can get rid of. I just want a very 
minimal OS w/ compiler tools so I can get gcc running. Building a compute
server.

The core install minus the PCMCIA packages plus some local packages
(squid/ipfilter) plus the mdb packages for kernel debugging consume
271MB on my machine:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0    2052750  278224 1712944    14%    /

You'd have to add the few packages necessary to use a compiler (header
files, archive libraries, etc) but 300MB seems achievable.

Re: Installing solaris on 220R without FrameBuffer

Hi ppl,
I'm using a standard null modem cable to connect serially to the console
of a 220R, in order to install the OS.
On the other end, i'm using my laptop and its hyperterminal. After a
>boot cdrom -w, I do go into the installation
procedure. The problem is, at the time of selecting various options I
cannot seem to move th cursor UP!!!! I can move
it down, but not UP.

Can anyone clearly remember the keystroke to move the key up during
selections?

This might sound trivial, but its rather annoying when it dosen't work!!

Any hints are most welcome!!

hi,
I'm trying to use a Sun Ultra5 connected to a 220R, serially using a
null modem cable.
But any input from the Ultra5 workstation, is echoed repeatedly on the
220R console.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

Thanks,
