What I'm asking there is once the OS is installed and working. If I want a software package using the gui software management tool, and I want to keep up with the development version ... we used to have the name of the repo and the dev directory after plugged into the software tool. Something like: REPONAME/dev So I'm asking for the address to use with the gui software tool? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Download and install virtualbox. Download the openindiana desktop iso. In virtualbox, click Add, new machine, select solaris (I think) or perhaps solaris 64bit. Boot from the iso. Simple as that. You'll have some self explanatory prompts, such as creating a virtual guest hard drive, and clicking on "Install" and choosing the language. The only part that isn't obvious or self-expanatory: After the guest is installed, it's advisable to click "Install Guest Additions" in the host window. This will virtually insert the guest additions CD rom into guest, which should automatically launch. > Once I have a running install, is the syntax for the packages still > something like REPONAME/dev? sudo pkg search subversion sudo pkg install subversion (or whatever) ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] Pounding on well trod ground..
Sorry to go over what must have been already covered many times but I dropped out of OI participation for a good long while. Hopefully someone will feel kindly disposed and post a brief outline of how to go from zero to running a vb vm of current OI on a win7 64bit host. I know the repos have changed since I last ran OI so, beginning with the most recent build numbers and where to get them in *.iso format. And a short summary of any things that have changed substantially that would effect a successful vm guest intall on a win7 64bit host. I remember how to point the installer to the iso file inside vb and how to create or add virtual discs. I last participated in OI use about 5/6 mnths after OI came out of opensolaris. Once I have a running install, is the syntax for the packages still something like REPONAME/dev? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
