I have some of the same questions about installing on a Sparc from a
terminal connection, so I'd be delighted to see this thread continue on
TLUG.

 According to the Red Hat docs for Sparc to set up a machine as headless, it
MUST be set up through a terminal connection. No explanation as to why,
though.

Does anyone know if that applies to Solaris as well? I've just received the
new Solaris 7 (it's free these days)which includes both the x86 and the
Sparc versions, but I'd like to be able to use Linux, as it installs in much
less disk and ram.
