Hi! Here is a mail from Al Hopper, well-known from genunix.org, who once again arranged the hosting. It is unbelievable how much effort and money he puts in supporting community projects like this. Other classic OpenSolaris distros who know him from genunix.org times know this, too. So: Let us THANK AL HOPPER!!! Here the preliminary links: ########################################################################################## ########################################################################################## do a: wget dist.martux.org/MartUX-OpenIndiana_Edition-151a0-LiveDVD__sun4u_sun4v.iso wget dist.martux.org/MartUX-OpenIndiana_Edition-151a0-LiveDVD__sun4u_sun4v.iso__MD5SUM ########################################################################################## ########################################################################################## Remember that the first download may be a little slow - since the cloudfront (edge) server may be fetching the content while providing the download. But subsequent downloads should be pretty quick. BTW: this is production ready - so if you know someone that wants an advance copy of MartUX, you can provide them the link. Burn the DVD with cdrecord. It is the best DVD burning software and handles error conditions better than everything else. After you boot the DVD, log in as root. Password: openindiana Then type X11go.sh to start JDS. Depending on CPU speed and I/O bandwith of the bus your DVD-Drive is connected to, the first start of JDS will take foreeeeever. At least 5 minutes, but on poorer machines with broken cmd646 ide chips (U5/U10) or slow CPU speed (below 1GHz), it can take a lot longer. Subsequent restarts of openXsun and JDS are as quick as a spaceshuttle (if you for some reason want to return to text mode, close the login xterm, to restart type X11go.sh again). System requirements: Any sun4u or sun4v system from 1995 (Ultra-1) to 2010 (T5440). 512MB is the real hardlimit to get a text-login with warning. But normally 768MB is the minimum for either text or X11. ##### BUGS: ##### 0.) /usr/sfw/bin/gcc has been built w/o multilib support (you cannot compile OS/Net with this version). gcc 3 needed to be configured with --disable-multilib in order to build at all on SPARC, only the famous SUNW csl-sol210-3_4-20050802 patches seem to work around this, but this comes later. If you want to build Illumos, then there is still Studio 12.1 in /opt/SUNWspro. Disable shadow-compilation. No extra step is required to define Sun's cc as primary compiler. gcc 4.4 in /usr/gcc/4.4 is also present, but after a few build errors and the fact that I didn't yet test it, I don't know if it works, probably not. 1.) The SunBlade 2500 Red and Silver have different IDE DVD-ROM drive models, than most or all other machines. These are damn picky! You may get media read errors with DVD+R media and SMF mumps out. If this happens, either burn with x1 or try different media or best: Replace that picky DVD-ROM with one of the last IDE DVD-Multiformat burners that you get on eBay for 5$. 2.) Man other smaller bugs, but lets not count them. More screenshots and the actual html content and videos come later, probably tomorrow or on Sunday. <<MartUX__SunBlade150__550MHz__OBP4.17.1__2GB__addon_PCI_PGX64____1024x683pixels.JPG (image/jpeg) 97K>> <<MartUX__SunBlade1500Silver__1503MHz__OBP4.16.4__3GB__XVR-600____1024x683pixels.JPG (image/jpeg) 96K>> <<martux-logo.png (image/png) 132K>> <<IMG_3512.JPG (image/jpeg) 143K>> <<IMG_3546.JPG (image/jpeg) 123K>> <<MartUX__etc_release____1024x683pixels.JPG (image/jpeg) 94K>> <<IMG_3517.JPG (image/jpeg) 136K>> <<IMG_3549.JPG (image/jpeg) 170K>> <<IMG_3556.JPG (image/jpeg) 115K>> <<IMG_3552.JPG (image/jpeg) 89K>> <<MartUX__Sun_Ultra60__Dual450MHz__OBP3.23__2GB__Raptor8p__running_JDS_on_openXsun____1024x683pixels.JPG (image/jpeg) 91K>> Happy booting ;-) Cheers, %martin bochnig https://twitter.com/MartinBochnig _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
