[desktop-discuss] Re: Solaris and Windows XP dual boot

[Andrew]

My wireless card is Intel (R) PRO/wireless 2200BG.  I have a HP pavillion ZT3100 laptop.  Can you give me a link on how to install the driver step by step please?

I'm using GAG Manager to boot windows and linux right now.  I installed LILO instead of GRUB for Ubuntu linux.  I assume GAG Manager will work with Solaris right?

I have found a good thing to do before you install Solaris over linux is delete the linux partitions with something like fdisk. You can just go ahead and install Solaris and it should detect the Windows install and add a boot option to the grub menu for it. So you don't really need step-by-step, dual-boot instructions - but perhaps you need, step-by-step plain old install instructions. So maybe something like this:

might be of use. Just be careful to not delete your windows partition :) Solaris won't work out of the box with your wireless card - you will need to install the driver manually. What type of card is it?
