Things are getting better, but I've found that in my installations, it's still better to use the Linux Grub loader and "chainload" OpenSolaris. There are many howtos floating around that describe this process. This does mean that if you install OpenSolaris after Linux, you may end up needing to recover the Linux Grub system following the directions outlined by your particular distro's documentation. > > Also just as an aside - I'm a bit confused as to the > direction of OpenSolaris at the moment.

The direction will become much clearer when the official Indiana release comes out. I believe that Indiana will "eventually" replace SXDE, and SXCE will function as the testbed for Indiana releases. With this in mind, I don't think it pays to jump to Indiana just yet, since things are still in a state of flux. For example, I'm having difficulty building apps under Indiana that build fine under SXCE. All this will be fixed in future releases of Indiana. That said, once things have stabilized, Indiana will be the right path to go. So the choice is yours... Wait and use Indiana when it's ready, or work with the current SXCE/SXDE and migrate later. <snip> Regards, Gary This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
