[osol-help] Java apps for OpenSolaris

2009-07-14 Thread david
Wow. I never knew. Thanks. I looked up what you told me to look up and found that the links to download the Solaris versions are Forbidden. I suppose that is it for Azureus. You wouldn't happen to know how I could take some source code, say like for Gnote and use Sun Studio to compile it

[osol-help] Java apps for OpenSolaris

2009-07-14 Thread david
I am scratching my head a bit here. All I know about Java is that you can write the application one time and it should run on any system, from Windows, to Mac, to Solaris, provided of course that they have a JRE. Supposedly the same is true of Mono. What I actually experience is that applic

[osol-help] update to specific dev branch

2009-07-14 Thread Anon Y Mous

[osol-help] Minimal OpenSolaris Install

2009-07-14 Thread Anon Y Mous
You can do a minimal server install using the always awesome text installer in Solaris Express or Solaris 10 (keep in mind that Solaris Express IS a variant of OpenSolaris, although you have to sign up with Sun to download it). When you do a text install, there's a menu that lets you choose whi

[osol-help] how do you make something start at boot?

2009-07-14 Thread Orvar Korvar
