Hi,

I'm having some problems with installing wabi -- I see two errors:

i) when I try to install the wabi answerbook it complains about
the absence of the SUNWalaud, SUNWoldcv, SUNWolrte, SUNWxwplt, SUNWxwoft
and SUNWxwcft packages. The snag is that I can't find these on any of
solaris cd's!

ii) when I run wabi for the first time it prompts me to install
windows 3.1 etc. The problem here is that whatever fonts it is using
aren't visible on my screen -- I sometimes see the text for a fraction
of a second as it flashes onto my screen but then disappears.

I'm running solaris 2.3 on an SS20 with SX (SIMM) framebuffer.

Any ideas as to what's going on? Also does anyone know if its possible
to load windows 3.11 from CD rather from floppy into WABI??

Thanks for your help!

        Cheers, Cos.

I had no trouble install WABI (Solaris 2.4, Sparc 2, Wabi 2.0), but
trying to install Windows gave me a lot of trouble (trying from disk that
is).  What I eventually did was FTP the disks to a directory and install
from there.  That worked great.  Never had any problems with Wabi install
however...
