Subject: [suse-sparc] SuSE 7.3 Installation on SPARCstation 10

    I've got a SPARCstation 10 (7-8 years old or more) w/ 64M of RAM and a few
    GB of diskspace scattered about three or so drives. This puppy is also
    still running Solaris 2.4.nnnn.

    My questions:

    Q1: I've got the SuSE 7.3 ISO CDs for SPARC. Is it possible to make the
    sparc boot using the CD (I presume the ISO's are bootable) and install SuSE?
    If so, how? If not, ???

    Q2: Is it possible to low-level the SCSI drives before installing SuSE? If
    so, how?

    Sincerely,

    L. Christopher Luther
