Installing Linux in Multi-Card Environment Requires Closing Microsoft Windows Server 2003

In Red Hat Linux 9, when installing Linux in a multi-card environment, you must close any open sessions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003, since there might be a conflict with the installation.

Failure to close Microsoft Windows Server 2003 before starting the installation of Linux results in a failed installation.

After completing the Linux installation, both Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Linux can run simultaneously.

Fully Functional and Configured Network Required for Linux Graphical User Interface to Work on System Monitor

In Red Hat Linux 9, in order for the X server to work, you must have a fully functional network connection to both the SunPCi III card and the host workstation. If there is no network connection, the X server will not start up. The X server allows you to use the Linux graphical user interface.

These requirements apply only to installations that use a system monitor. If you configure Linux to use an external monitor to view SunPCi III, this issue is not applicable.
