Install Solaris on PC (can it be done?)

I have a PII pc w 192 MB RAM, 6 GB available on a ata 100 HD (would be partition 3). I have maintained a dual boot Win98 SE/Win2K setup for a while.

I downloaded the 3 ISOs for Solaris 9:

Install CD
OS 1
OS 2

I have used a reference book (I'll never learn) from McGraw Hill "Solaris 9 the Complete Reference".

Each time I follow the instructions on the screen, I go through the hour+ of the install and only one time did I get the OS installed. Of course, the network support wasn't running (thought I could enable it later NOT!), so I tried to reinstall. It never really made it through. Each time I think it is going to boot, it tries to install again. Of course, I had checked the option to eject the CD after install and it never does. Nor am I prompted to remove it. When I do remove it prior to boot aI am prompted to install the CD again.

Thank you in advance

What OS loader are you using? If you are relying on
Microsoft, forget it. Suggest you switch to GRUB.

Hi

The size of the Solaris 9 os is nearly 1G. It is far to big for me from New Zealand to download it over dialup networking. It will be much nicer if I can get the CDs by just paying the post cost.
