Open Solaris IBM AS/400

[Burnsy2023]

How much support is there for installing Open Solaris on an AS/400? Is there pre-comilped code and a manual or am I going to need to fiddle?

Anyone done this?

Cheers

That's an optional extra, most run OS/400 (well the one built before the iSeries revamp)

ah, I never quite understood the IBM lineup.

we've still got an ancient RS/6000 running AIX,
but it just won't die.
bloomin' users keep asking me to turn it back on to look something up :-/

They're impressive machines. I love the concept of vitualised hardware, so potentially you can run any machine code on it (TIMI)

Anyway, back to the problem at hand, how do I get Open Solaris on it?
