I'd like to install Solaris8 in a partition

Do I really have to take Sun's HW compatibility seriuosly ?
Thanks

If you don't have your systems hardware listed in the HCL you still will be able to install Solaris but would get into problems like graphic card not supported so you end up usind standard 4 color vga with a poor output.

No, notreally, I have install it on some clone and brand name, desktop and portable. One of the problem that you might get, it's with the network card and/or video card. Beside that, it should be quite easy.

Good luck
