If you want to explore OpenSolaris, why are you installing two different distributions? Both OpenSolaris 2008.11 and BeeliniX come in the form of a live CD. Why not play around with the live CD of each distribution, see which is more to your liking, and then install just that one on your hard drive?
You can then install the distro you didn't install on your hard drive into VirtualBox and play around with it that way. But to answer your question, since BeleniX is based on OpenSolaris, and the live boot technology of OpenSolaris derives from BeeliniX, I would say that the answer to your question is probably not, given my experience with the OpenSolaris installer. If you desperately want to install two distributions before you have explored either of them, however, you might try setting the first partition not to be a Solaris partition temporarily. That should force the installers to use the second partition. As far as having Nevada and OpenSolaris on the same disk goes, it is better to place them in the same partition but in different boot environments, as described here: http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/entry/solaris_and_opensolaris_coexistence_in -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
