I have been trying for the past 3 days to get any package related to xVM
installed on my freshly installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 machine, but everything I
run the command, it fails.
I've su'd into root to try and eliminate any permission problems.
my uname is:
SunOS atlantis 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc
This is what i get when trying to do the install.
-bash-3.2$ su -

Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_86 January 2008

It always gives that list index out of range no matter which package i've tried
to install. I've only tried packages related to xVM though. Anyone have any
ideas on this. I will admit that I am new to OpenSolaris, and the root roles
thing and pfexec threw me for a loop when I first got the system up, so I may
be doing something wrong here. I'm by no means an expert.
