[osol-help] Keyboard on the Live CD

I'm having a problem getting the live CD to boot. It works great until it asks me for my keyboard language, then it takes no input. The keyboard works fine in the boot loader and it's getting power because I can turn the back light on, but it won't let me input anything there. This seems to be a

Re: [osol-help] updateing the OS.

I just formatted this morning and installed OpenSolaris. I used a 2008.05 disk that I had. So I tried running the commands at the end of the URL above so I could use the pkg image-update command and get some updates. However, I ran into an error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pfexec /tmp/mnt$$/boot/sola

I am having the same problem. My laptop has been hung at 99% for way over an hour. I am trying to learn some OpenSolaris by installing OpenSolaris on my old laptop: 1.7mhz Celeron, 512mb RAM. Not high end, but it should be more than enough, according to what I have read. -- This message posted

[osol-help] Help with Sparc Classic?

Hi, thanks a lot for your speedy answer! It didn't seem logical to me, that a program run as a service should report it's state on exit. I put a wrapper in place and everything works fine now. Best regards! -bastian -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

[osol-help] naming new BE on "pkg image-update"

Hi Folks, Is it possible to pre-set the name the new BE that a "pkg image update" will create? I prefer to keep my BE's named in alignment with the releases (ie opensolaris_snv-99) rather than opensolaris-1/2/3/ etc. So far I have been doing this by booting off cd after the upgrade and usin

Thanks for the reply, Daveu. I think you were probably exactly right. Since this was a brand new install and I had nothing to lose, I re-installed and instructed the installer to use the whole disk rather than just pick the existing Solaris parition. It is all fine now. That Diagnostics part
