On a different but related topic... I downloaded the snv_98 iso, burned it to DVD (it wouldn't fit on a CD), but when I try to boot on an old Dell 4550 it fails in a different way each time I try - sometimes disk errors, sometimes some problem with some service, sometimes other things, all really weird failures. An old 2008.05 CD that I burned boots and runs just fine. Did I make a mistake by burning it to DVD? I'm going to try installing 2008.05 and upgrade my way to snv_98. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
