Hey guys, my package of Solaris 10 arrived yesterday. I'll install it but i've one problem, will openSUSE's bootloader will be able to detect it, or else what should I do, i really like that animated splash screen of SUSE so don't wanna miss that.

Install Linux after solaris..

PS: where did u get the cd`s from ? Did u order ? Do they also sell OpenSolaris (Neveda/ Solaris Express) ?

vignesh those can be ordered from sun, a lot of people got them. They dispatched them in bulk recently, a lot of people got them, including me.
See Free Solaris Software DVD Kit and NEWBEE here...

Vignesh I ordered them from the official www.sun.com site and clicking on Solaris,

you just need to fill up the form and they'll send the DVD's to you

i dont think suse or grub will detect it
try Acronis Disk Director Suite it do your job easy

just mail me if u want so i upload it on my web site

Why not and what makes you think so?
The install of Open Solaris 10 I saw used grub as it's boot loader.

I think about a month back, the delivery was quick. They'll send you three DVD's

1. Solaris 10 x86 cum 64-bit edition.
2. Solaris 10 for Sun Sparc (their own processors)
3. Sun Java development kit
