Solaris 8 for intel x86

Hi,
i want to download the solaris 8 for x86. can any body guide me to find the download link because i can able to find the solairs 8 download link on sun website.

Since Solaris 8 is now an officially discontinued product,
you might only be able to get it if you buy used media sets
on an online auction site such as Ebay.
Could you describe your hardware?
I remember using Solaris 8 on an x86 system.
For what it did, it was good.
However there was a very limited set of hardware that would function.
If I remember correctly, your concern should be as to:
What is your motherboard chipset?
What is your disk controller chipset?
What is your video card?
What network adapter are you planning to use?
What sound card do you own?
I had it on an Intel 440LX P-II.
Only the integrated IDE connectors were recognized.
I had an 8mb ATI Rage PCI card that let me see what I was doing.
Only about two or three specific NICs worked, such as 3C905TX or a DC21140.
My original real Soundblaster 16 (ISA slot) was able to give me the beeps and chirps necessary.
If you're hoping for most anything made in the last couple of years, then forget it.
(... and forget about USB peripherals other than USB 1.x devices like keyboard/mouse)

How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
specific questions):
I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
My very specific questions:
(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
(2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
Thanks for the answers.

(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.

How is solaris for intel

Hi
My boss wants to use Solaris for Intel instead of Solaris for Sparc and he wants me to research which one is better, i.e. more stable and secure. I don't know how good solaris for Intel is. Please explain.
Many thanks,
Cindy

I use both Solaris x86 and Sparc... Depending on your budget is going to vary which one you should use. The real difference is the processor architecture and cost.
I have seen both in production and both work very well. Matter of fact Lucent uses x86 in all their Telecom Noc environments and it works really well. I use it as a desktop OS because my boss it cheap and won't buy me a Sparc machine. With the x86 lacking bootprom I prefer the sparc installtions. Depending on what you are using it for depends on which I would recommend. Both are good.
Sun was really driving the Intel version some years back and Intel stopped helping them develop for the x86 instruction set. So that's where it lies... You can get patches and software for both platforms usually.

Oracle into Solaris for Intel

Does the Oracle database for Solaris for SunSPARC, works into a
Solaris for Intel?
Do you know, where I can download an Oracle for Solaris for
Intel?
That Oracle database version is the only one, wich is not in the
OTN download page.

I bought Sun Solaris 8 (Intel platform) from SUN - you just have to pay the media & shipping fees. Oracle 8i (for Intel Sun Solaris8) was included in the package .
Check on www.sun.com for more details.

Where Do I Download Solaris for Intel?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me where do I download Solaris 8 for Intel?
When I can use Solaris for SPARC will I have any problems
using the Intel one? Are they any differences in commands
or so?
Thanks
Tom

You can no longer download Solaris for Intel. You can order it @
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
When you get it sucessfully installed you should not see any difference in command set from The SPARC version.

You can't get the Intel edition anymore. Only SPARC. Sorry... Sun decided to not support Intel anymore. I can sort of understand why though.

Sun Compiler on Solaris for Intel

Is Sun Workshop C++ compiler with RogueWave library available on
Solaris for Intel platform?

I believe this is the case with Workshop 6, which is downloadable as a Beta from the developer connection website, but I haven't checked.
http://soldc.sun.com/workshop6ea I think is the URL.

SOLARIS for INTEL: Have future?

I could find few products without roadmaps for Solaris/Intel. Without apps, I need to change the platform.
Who can know more about this situation?
Regards
Cheet CTICTI

Solaris for Intel is a low budget variant of getting Solaris out there. The application support is mainly for SPARC based systems if you are trying to buy software. But there is a plethora of free and open source applications out there too. Get yourself a copy of gcc and start compiling your favorite apps that you find at http://freshmeat.net.
Since you make no specific requests, it's hard to mention what apps are available and which ones aren't.

Can you install 9iDB on solaris for Intel

If yes, where can i get 9i for solaris-Intel (or do i use the one for Sun-sparc).
Thanks

Hello dear people,
I'm trying to install the 9i Database for Sun SPARC (32-bit) on an Intel machine with Solaris 8 running. I followed all steps of the installation documentation, but when I try to execute the runInstaller programm, I get always the following error:
Syntax error at row 1: '(' unexpected.
Can you tell me, which is actually the terminal Release for Intel Solaris? I were very pleased.
Thanks,
Reinaldo
