2010-06-09 Thread Cia Watson
I tried installing the 2009.06 livecd this morning and after it completed the transfer process it didn't complete the installation but then it crashed when I tried to view the install log. I did some more looking around, and I'm now booted to the dev-134 iso cd, and this one at least got me onl

As a matter of fact (or coincidence?) I do have a laptop with 256mb of ram and tried to boot Milax 0.5 just last weekend. It wouldn't boot due to some issue with compression or uncompressing files. I think I tried it with the vesa driver also, same error message. It's currently running Fedora1

I haven't tried USB boot on that laptop -- it does have 1 USB 1.1 port, it's an IBM thinkpad 600x. I don't own any usb / thumb drives and haven't taken the time to figure out how to do a usb boot (if it's even possible). Sorry. However, on the livecd the error message it gives after module /boot

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenIndiana - a new OpenSolaris Distribution!

Given the new license details for what will be Oracle Solaris 11 Express, it appears I won't be upgrading my snv_134 osol to Sol11 express (since I'm not a developer), and so am looking forward to details about OpenIndiana. I have one question at the moment: Will there be ext3 and/or ext4 su
