I have considered moving my setup to QEMU, especially as it would be very easy to create a hard drive image since I am using a SCSI2SD board, but there is something about running these things on the original hardware that is difficult to leave behind. -Henry --000000000000893e9a0613917e63 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi all,

I've been working quite a bit recently with SunOS 4 on a SPARCstation 5, seeing what I can coax out of it in terms of building and supporting a modern computing environment.=C2=A0 I know that TUHS isn't really the right place for this, but can someone point me to somewhere that is?=C2=A0 I've made signif= icant progress in some areas and spent a lot of cycles to get there - for instance, I have GCC 3.4.6 up and running - so I'd like to contribute to a community if one exists.=C2=A0 Is there a mode= rn equivalent of sun-managers?

Not an answer to the question, but on a tangent...

I recently saw that Solaris 11.4 SRU66 was released and had a yearning to see how things in Solaris land were doing (can't stan= d Gnome so OpenIndiana's a bust)... but with Oracle's Solaris, = it's a mess at least for hobbyists (only get release patches, so I'm guessing the most up to date 'release' was 11.4 in 2018). So,= when I saw your post on SunOS 4, I thought I'd tool around and see if it was easy to get rolling as a VM, turns out things have come a long way on that front:

OpenWindows 3... wow... works great on my Mint instance. Now, if I could just remember how commands work on SunOS :).
