You are better off with a dual-boot system in my opinion. > Should I use partition magic or is there something free that works with > opensolaris and xp etc that I can use. I suggest the gparted live CD, which I just used to resize my laptop's partition so I could dual-boot between multiple operating systems: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ It's free. *Backup your data first!* > Any gotchas I should watch out for : networking seems to be my biggest issue > with the xp and the solaris running on top of it now. Be certain that you have Windows installed first and that you install Solaris after. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
