Installation notes for Windows, Solaris, and Ubuntu

These two days I have completed several systems. First of all, of course, I have to install great Windows. I don't have to talk about anything about Windows. Note: The optical drive of the lab machine is broken, the hard drive is new, and there is nothing on it. It is difficult to install a Windows. It is installed anyway. The specific tricks are kept confidential for the time being. The installation images for the other two systems are quite large. Popular network versions are too popular. We recommend that you download them directly from the official website. When testing your network capabilities, UBUNTU 3.9 server version G and Solaris10

These two days I have completed several systems. First of all, of course, I have to install great Windows. I don't have to talk about anything about Windows. Note: The optical drive of the lab machine is broken, the hard drive is new, and there is nothing on it. It is difficult to install a Windows. It is installed anyway. The specific tricks are kept confidential for the time being.

The installation images for the other two systems are quite large. Popular network versions are too popular. We recommend that you download them directly from the official website. When testing your network capabilities, Ubuntu 8.04 server Version 3.9G, solaris 10, 2.10 GB.

Install Grub4Dos (see GRUB4DOS, a Linux and Windows multi-system boot software). Pay attention to the version. Put the gldr file in the C root directory and modify the boot. INI file, restart, and you will be able to access the grub command.

Install Ubuntu 8.04. If it is a desktop version, you can consider the wubi method, which is the easiest. The other steps are as follows: first put the two files vmlinuzand initrd.gz to any root directory, reserve the installation space for 10 + G logical partitions, and restart to enter the Grub command

> Find/vmlinuz

(Hd0, 4) // The first logical partition is directly (hd0, 4). You can do this without finding.

> Kernel (hd0, 4)/vmliuz
> Initrd (hd0, 4)/initrd.gz
> Boot

Go to the installation page and follow the prompts to proceed. After installation, go to the system and copy the menu. lst file under/boot/grub to the Windows partition.

Installing Solars is troublesome. Note: It must be installed after Ubuntu; otherwise, an error may occur. Create the two files in the image, x86.miniroot and multiboot, and put them in the root directory of vmlinuz.

Reserve 30 + GB of unallocated space, but note that it must be in the primary format.

Restart to enter the grub command line:

> Kernel (hd0, 4)/multiboot kernel/unix-B install_media = dsk
> Module (hd0, 4)/x86.miniroot
> Boot

After entering the installation status, the system will prompt that the installation media cannot be found. The problem is serious because partitions are not automatically mounted.

Press enter to enter the command line and manually Mount

# Mount-F pcfs/dev/dsk/c0d0p0: 1/mnt

Note that/dev/dsk/c0d0p0: 1 is not (hd0, 5), the file is in Solaris format, and c0d0p0: 1 indicates the first extended logical partition of the first hard disk.

You can also use

# Ls/dev/dsk to find the disk ID

# Ls/mnt

Check whether the mounting is successful

# Lofiadm-a/mnt/solaris/Opensolaris. iso // mount the iso file

# Mount-F hsfs/dev/lofi/1/cdrom

# Exit

After exiting, you can continue the installation.

Note that the Solaris installer only recognizes the primary partition during partitioning. Therefore, the partition display contains only three parts:

1. Unkown ------- C Primary Partition

2. DOSEXTEND ------------------- extended partition

3. solaris ------ no space is allocated for the previously reserved primary

If the Pre-reserved unallocated space is Logic, which is directly placed in 2 as the extended partition, the installation can be imagined as a result.

After the installation is complete, restart and the grub option will display Windows and Solaris options, because the previous Grub of Ubuntu has been overwritten, and solaris is rogue, and Ubuntu cannot overwrite the grub of Solaris, however, Solaris can overwrite Ubuntu. Therefore, you must install Ubuntu first. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

After grub is repaired, go to the Solaris system and find/boot/grub/menu. lst file, and then find the menu copied to the Windows partition. in the lst file, add the Ubuntu startup part to/boot/grub/menu. in lst, success is achieved.

Because VPN is required for the external network on the machine in the lab, it is helpless to install pptp to connect to the external network. Suddenly, I found that the network connection was still available during my undergraduate course!
