I will admit my google skills are not the highest... but I did spend long enough on google to find 4 other posters arrayed over about 10 years who could not find an easy way to learn the version either. Even that took at least a half hour. Man page skills not terrific either since I spent a bit of time on several of the pkg[whatever] cmds looking for the very thing that Volker B posted. Seems I always flunk out by not having the super clever search strings in firefox on google or with the '/' key in man pages. I become doubtful of my pea brain when a helpful poster shows a one search hit that completely satisfies whatever I was asking about in rich depth and completeness.... And while there is truly a wealth of info available on google, its shear amount by itself becomes a new problem. It means there are piles and piles of junk too. Seems like its getting harder to find stuff to me. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
