Don't you understand or don't you want to understand? My post was never about Windows. This my last try was just yet another try to run Belenix under Qemu. I am showing here a bug that Belenix has in the most of the last releases - in comparison with SXCR - and all you do is bastardize this thread saying that I want to run Solaris under Windows. I never said this. I will never say it. This thread is about running Belenix under Qemu. Not more, not less. > If you're serious about OpenSolaris and Belenix - then use OpenSolaris > related technology. Anything windows related is off topic on this > list. This thread is not off-topic. With all respect, Sir. NO! I show here that something with SXCR can be done which with Belenix cannot be done. And I want to come to the reason of it. For me and for the Belenix community. > If you're serious about OpenSolaris - you'll dedicate a machine to > running it - or, at the very least, a bootable disk drive.... > Otherwise you'll have very limited technical credibility on these > lists. My machine is dedicated to five Operating Systems, thank you. You, Sir, don't tell me what I should do with my machine. Thank you. Qemu is one of the general known free software virtualization solutions. There are many free software projects which make Qemu virtual images for the community availabble. I want to do this for Belenix. I want to do something for Belenix. All you do, Sir, is holding me up from a good discussion by bastardizing my thread Thanky you.
