&&&&& WHERE TO GET FREE SOLARIS FOR X86

Post by Terry L Ridde » Sat, 14 Feb 1998 04:00:00



First off I have a couple questions for you:

1. What Linux distribution are you attempting to run?
2. What Linux kernel are you attempting to run?
3. How long have you been attempting to run Linux?
4. Have you asked for any help from comp.os.linux.help,
comp.os.linux.questions,
   comp.os.linux.setup, comp.os.linux.answers, etc?
5. Have you attempted to seek help from a local Linux Users Group (LUG)?
6. Have you attempted to find a seasoned Linux user/users in your local
area?
7. Why are you posting to comp.os.solaris?

You can not download Solaris/x86 for free. If you do find such
a location the software is either pirated (illegal) or a ruse.

Wine and Twins are only for 16-bit Windows' applications.

There is SoftWindows from Insignia which runs under MacOS, HP-UX, etc
but not under Linux. It is not free.

The Caldera Linux distribution has WABI available as an option.

I made the assumption that the original posting was from
a younger *ager, and decided to cut them a little slack.

Dear * Citizens,

Hello, how do you do ?
Here, I appeal all you to give me a hand over the problems follows:

1) About UNIX OS:

A) Which OS (Linux, SUN Solaris for x86 or some other UNIX or UNIX-like
OS ?) supports more printers (i.e. drivers for more printers available)
, including various models of injet printers currently fashionable (e.g.
Deskjet 600 series, EPSON Style series & Canon BJC series) ?

B) Where can we download SUN Solaris for x86 of the latest version (I
mean the FULL VERSION and NOT THE UPDATE PATCHES !) completely
free-of-charge on the Internet ?

C) Where can we download the drivers for various UNIX OSs (e.g. Linux,
SUN Solaris for x86 or some other UNIX or UNIX-like OS) for various
models of injet printers currently fashionable (e.g. Deskjet 600 series,
EPSON Style series & Canon BJC series) free-of-charge ?

2) About FREE UNIX Account:

A) Which sites provide absolutely FREE UNIX Shell Accounts , granting us
the right to write programs, like C & C++ , on the Internet ?

B) Which sites provide thoroughly FREE UNIX Shell Accounts , granting us
the right to write CGI scripts for FREE HOMEPAGES residing on the
accounts, on the Internet ?

C) Which sites provide thoroughly FREE UNIX Shell Accounts , granting us
the right to write CGI scripts, which are to revoke some FREE UNIX Shell
Commands, for FREE HOMEPAGES
residing on the accounts, on the Internet ?

D) Which sites provide LARGE-VOLUME FREE HOMEPAGES (e.g. 5MB, 10MB or
more) on the
Internet ?

E) Which sites provide FREE LARGE-VOLUME REPOSITORY for data, programs &
images on
the Internet ?

F) Which sites provide ALL or SEVERAL of the FREE STUFF mentioned in 2.A
to 2.E on the
Internet ?

3) About Emulators for UNIX:

A) I had tried to compile the various releases of WINE, a Windows
Emulator for Linux, under Slackware Linux (of Kernel 2.0.30) many times
BUT had failed in creating the object code WINE or had encountered error
in running WINE .
Then, what're the PROBLEMS ? HOW TO SOLVE THEM ?
(Please give me ALL THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS .)

B) Where can we get the OBJECT CODE(S) of WINE for Linux (of Kernel
2.0.30) on the
Internet ?

C) Is there any better ALTERNATIVE TO WINE  (the object codes more
preferrable)
,downloadable free-of-charge AND tolerating running Windows 95 programs
smoothly
as well, on the Internet ?

D) Is there any program called Soft Windows or SoftWindows on the
Internet, tolerating
running most MS-DOS or/& Windows 3.XX or/& Windows95 applications
smoothly ?

4) About Hardware for PC:

A) When I run WinPlay Application Version 2.20 or Implay11 to play a VCD
in my CD-ROM
drive under Windows 95, the play screen displays mosaic and then there
is no further
play !

In fact, I had also tried to run a fix patch called IOSUPD.EXE,
downloaded from
Microsoft site BUT the result is also the same !

How can I solve this problem in order to use all devices under Windows
95 WITH changing
connection ?

How can I solve this problem in order to use all devices under Windows
95 WITHOUT
changing connection BUT jumper(s) or some other else ?

My PC's configuration is as follows:

I    ) CPU: 486DX/66
II   ) Primary IDE Devices:
___________________________2GB IDE Hard Disk of Seagate (set as Master)
___________________________24X INFRA3600 CD-ROM of CreativeLab (set as
Slave)
III  ) Secondary IDE Devices: Two IDE Hard Disk of Seagate
IV   ) Main Memory: 16MB

Your fast reply would be much appreciated !
I look forwards to hearing from you soon !
Thank you VERY VERY VERY MUCH !!!

                                                        Regards,
                                                                UNHAPPY_LINUX_USER
