Hey guys, my package of Solaris 10 arrived yesterday. I'll install it but i've one problem, will openSUSE's bootloader will be able to detect it, or else what should I do, i really like that animated splash screen of SUSE so don't wanna miss that.

Why not and what makes you think so?
The install of Open Solaris 10 I saw used grub as it's boot loader.

@ hellknight when u ordered the dVD's ??

I think about a month back, the delivery was quick. They'll send you three DVD's

1. Solaris 10 x86 cum 64-bit edition.
2. Solaris 10 for Sun Sparc (their own processors)
3. Sun Java development kit
