Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Shorter subjects for mailing lists
Just [oi] sounds good - it'll let us identify mails visually, though having said that, I now wonder how important that is. On Gmail on my Blackberry, I'm able to see the entire subject line, but my responses come through as top-posts :( -- Sriram On 7/13/11, Ken Gunderson wrote: > On Mon, 2011-07-11 at 23:00 -0700, Gregory Youngblood wrote: >> On Jul 11, 2011, at 9:07 PM, Joshua M.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Stack not written error on install attempt
That really sounds like it might be it since other oses work with it. I will just sit on it then I am going to use sunrays to talk with that server anyway.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] AMD Phenom II X6 + 870 chipset, feedback?
AFAIK, you shouldn't have any problems with AMD procs. Sun used to ship servers with AMD procs so unless someone's gone and yanked all that code from the kernel (highly unlikely) then you shouldn't have any troubles. Drivers for the motherboard, on the other hand, so long as there isn't anything too cutting edge in the way of controller chipsets ...? -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
