Re: [osol-discuss] second_root for upgrade of next release
At installation with all default options, it not created second_root (default name) partition for me for upgrade of next release. I remembered that till release b74 or 85, as default it created second_root. Not b85 for sure. I had to create that partition myself. But if you select ZFS root instead of UFS the second root partition is not required for Live Upgrade as long as you dont' skimp on disk space. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] New to Unix(Solaris)
They all work. Provided that one avoids the executables in /usr/gnu/bin but that directory is *first* in the default $PATH. GNU==GNU is Not UNIX At least they should all work in the latest OpenSolaris snv_98 Live CDROM/DVD image because the man page for standards(5) is the xact same as this from Solaris 10 Update 5 : The default $MANPATH in OpenSolaris gives priority to the GNU man pages, *not* the UNIX man pages. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] firefox problems with snv_98
Already did that. It helps a little but it's still unusable. Same goes for thunderbird. It's the whole window system that is malfunctioning. Switching between workspaces is a 5 second operation. Machine is Ferrari 4000 with 2GB and fresh install of 2008.11 b86 Then upgrade your system to b98 and replace firefox as I previously showed. I have no idea what kind of processor or graphics your Ferrari uses but the nVidia drivers have been updated considerably since b86 was released.

Re: [osol-discuss] Any Ideas
I have downloaded os200805 twice 1 with SDM and 2 with DAP. Firefox is more reliable for such downloads than anything else you have access to. I have burnt it using sonic record now 7.3 and cd burner xp pro 4.2 in the iso image. I have done these several times and ruined a bunch of discs. The file you downloaded is an image. To burn it properly you must burn it *as an image*. Your CD burning software probably has several drop-down menus and one of them will almost certainly refer to image. works. Does the open solaris live cd act like the ubuntu, I mean that you run it ,use it and if you like it you can hit the install and if you want it can take over the whole hd? Yes, it is very similar in that respect. However, you may also use only part of your HDD. If you have a sufficiently large capacity HDD you can partition it in order to install both Windows and OpenSolaris. The WinXP installation procedure enables you to do this. But be certain to install Windows *first*, then OpenSolaris. Windows will restore its own MBR and mark only the Windows partition active. iI think ubuntu might have messed up the MBR I had to run the recovery to repair it. Ubuntu placed its own boot loader, called GRUB, into the MBR and OpenSolaris will do that also. But it should also provide a menu option for booting either OpenSolaris or Windows in a dual boot configuration. Even with the MBR a little messed up one of the cd's I burned should have run on this one that hasn't had any problems. Not if you simply burned the file to CD. It must be burned *as an image*. Someone mentioned that I get the single DVD download There is no DVD image of OpenSolaris. There are DVD images of Solaris Express and Solaris, which are *not* the same as OpenSolaris.
