Installing Red Hat Linux on a SPARC system is slightly more complex than
installing Red Hat Linux/Intel, mostly due to differences in machine
architecture. In general, the main steps to a successful installation
are:
Determine which console commands your SPARC system supports.
Determine whether you have sufficient memory to use a RAM disk-based
installation.
Determine how you will boot the installation program.
Determine what installation method you will use.
Determine whether you will install Red Hat Linux/SPARC from a serial
terminal.
Load and run the Red Hat Linux installation program.
The remainder of this chapter looks at each of these steps in more
detail.
