But what are the advantages to Nexanta over for instance
* Solaris Express Community Edition
* Solaris Express Developer Edition
* BeleniX
Is it really worth paying a couple of hundreds for when all I need is a NAS?

I choose Nexanta because it's light and slim.
Fast installation, and small distribution size.
Probably you can also install Solaris Express headless
without X...
Then I like the apt-get package manager, which
is very familiar to debian.
For what you want to pay a couple of hundreds?
But what are

as they are built onboard on my PM8M-V MSI Board

Cant you say the same about opensolaris? Light, slim, fast install, small
distribution size ++ Headless is not a must for me. I have to admit that I like
apt-get, but it is not a must either.
I would not oppose to paying for something which gives me added value, but I
can't see all that added

Sigh. Pulseaudio solves nothing, introduces lots of regressions by
hammering a shim between the applications and the system, and in my
Sorry, I was mistaken. I tried to set up a jumpstart server on a X86 machine,
so I mounted the CD on that X86 machine, which apparently doesn;t read Sparc CD
correctly and doesnt give separate s1 directory. After mounted it on a space
machine, everything is fine. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Waynel!...:) I appreciate your response to my query...I will try
your suggestion of editing the GRUB menu.lst file and adding a chainloader

Yes - but on which disk?
If there are three hard drives and each has just one OS, surely you just

Yes you are right folder lock was not the problem

i saw the drives but was unable to mount them becasue i really

i was not sure why but when i downloaded the Solaris 10 X86
