OK, but... I don't have a DVD drive . >> Another question: it appears that SXCE-98 doesn't offer ZFS-root. >> Certainly the installer just went with UFS without asking.

My box is now happily re-installing. Interestingly, although the initial installation is done in "text mode" (actually the curses-based installer runs inside a dtterm under X), after the reboot, the installation process resumes as the graphical version. I don't know if this is normal behaviour, but it did at least work for me. If I'd genuinely *needed* the text installer to resume (e.g. over a serial link), I'm not sure if it would have been OK. Anyway, thanks for the input, Mary. Andrew _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
