Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org Hi, I just managed to get Ultralinux 1.0.9 installed on an Ultra Enterprise 2 and it seems to be working great so far. I had one installation problem though. The silo bootloader install didn't work (kept saying "can't mount" or some similar error). I managed to get around this by hitting ctrl-z, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /mnt/lib, running chroot /mnt and running silo manually. Anyway, great job guys! I have a question, though. Is Ultralinux 1.0.9 stable enough to use as a database/web server? If so, does anyone know of any large database vendors that provide sparc-linux binaries? (Oracle, Informix, Sybase, etc.) Or alternatively, any free databases that are more fully-featured than PostgreSQL and mySQL? (referential integrity would be nice) (Also, when I log into the serial console, I have no job control in the shell?? Can I fix this?) Thanks, Chris
