Simple steps to create a full-install of OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111a (as much complete as SXCE, as possibl, but o p e n) :
#1.) wget http://genunix.org/distributions/indiana/osol-0906-111a-x86.iso #2.) cdrecord -v -eject dev=N,N,N driveropts=burnfree osol-0906-111a-x86.iso #3.) Perform a default GUI based LiveCD driven HDD installation (1GB Ram / 20GB HHD minimum recommendations). #4.) pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev dev #5.) pfexec pkg unset-publisher opensolaris.org #6.) pfexec pkg refresh #7.) pfexec pkg install entire #8.) pfexec pkg install redistributable I cannot mention all the goodies, that's beyond the scope of a small email. I'm really impressed. Goood job! Thanks to everyone involved. Please continue your good work. The next time somebody complains about "OpenSolaris is a a complete failiure" or "total desaster", lets punch him with the existing facts. I agree with OSUNIX that we all should support a united distro. But IMO this has to be OpenSolaris yyyy.mm . And all the other 3rd party distros can (and should!) peacefully compete and co-exist, rather than abandon themselves. "The best of OpenSolaris" already exists ... OpenSolaris2009.06 is a fast growing OpenSolaris technology based distribution. Its strength lies in strong community leadership driving great open source technology. Nice future guaranted :)) Cheers %martin
