Interesting, however I'm more interested in a 15.4" wide laptop.
Generally 14.1" laptops are (much) more expensive than their bigger
counterparts.

I have always found the 'format' and 'partitioning' part of Solaris somewhat
enshrouded in mystery. And indeed in this book there isn't a lot of info on
this part.
Also at a certain moment I found references to... Wikipedia.

Idem over here.
I paid it only 28.5 Euro, which is an excellent price if you see the '50 US
dollar' on the back of the cover.
The only issue is the quality of the book. I was surprised that Wiley uses such
low quality phone book paper. This is a big contrast compared to all my other

I have never experienced any problems when downloading any of Sun's OS.
The live upgrade for opensolaris might fail, but these are for completely
different reasons.

Does that mean that there will be a new iso available for OpenSolaris, like

I think 'Opera' might be happy if their browser would be standard part of an
excellent OS like
Solaris.
For Solaris 10, I had the issue that Firefox (2.0.0.14) is crashing all the
time.
However, I don't have this issue on SXCE b91.
That's why I tried Opera 9.5
The only problem for Opera were th

I installed a couple days ago Opera 9.5 on Solaris 10 and I must say I'm pretty

This morning I successfully burned a DVD with GUI in SXDE, which is looking
very similar as in OpenSolaris. So this means there is something wrong in
OpenSolaris.
The next step will be trying to use cdrecord in OpenSolaris.
I first will probably need to reinstall OpenSolaris since the upgrade did
By the way, I tried on my other computer and received exactly the same error.
This is OpenSolaris like it was released.
Now I'm going to upgrade OpenSolaris and next see how the burner behaves in

The one which is not working when writing should start is accessed by clicking:

I've been running now for some time Solaris 10, SXDE and OpenSolaris on two

extremely stable and fast.

I have currenlty a notebook that runs on Mandriva.
It's the only Linux/Unix OS that finds the wireless adapter (Atheros).
It's actually one of the few Atheros drivers which does not have a Solaris
driver.
Is it possible to use this driver in Solaris.
So I guess by recompiling the source code of t
This makes it all clear.
I hope to find some time to extract a new driver from the Windows driver.
In the meantime I took the easiest solution, which costed me an extra 10 euro.
Lucky it's just a network card and not a graphic adapter.

No it's not the primary partition.
There is currently Mandriva installed (the only Linux that could drive
my wireless network), which makes use of the primary partition.
I also don't understand that according to the SXDE partition wizard there
are two unused partitions:

True but the packages for Solaris take some time before they're available.
I guess it's not like Fedora for instance.

Good question actually.
For me the most 'popular' ones from Sunfreeware are Gnuplot and Octave.
For Gnuplot for instance you can find the version under
/usr/local/doc/gnuplot/VERSION
So I guess for most of the installed packages it should be under: /usr/local/doc

It seems that I'm not alone with this issue.
