I tested Milak 0.5 many months ago on a x86 system with 256 MB and it worked fine. The old SPARC Milax 0.3.2 worked fine as well with 256 MB memory. I think the chokepoints were when I did 64 MB-128 MB RAM testing which is what Solaris 8 tended to run on. Using ON snv_142/143 overhead is unde

Better yet: You should know how to find it yourself. Because "genunix" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. And you won't remember it next time you need it. Go to http://www.opensolaris.org Go to downloads. Scroll down, and you'll find a section called "Developer Builds" In that paragraph
