The installer worked fine for me - I knew what to select, etc. We need to improve on this, so I'll send my wish list separately. I had to install the libC++ patch myself: Download http://patches.sun.com/all_unsigned/119964-06.zip /usr/bin/patchlibC 119964-06.zip I then ran setup_jdk, and the jdk was setup well. I'd have loved being able to ask the installer to install the JDK at /opt, but the present installer work just fine. JDK works out of the box. I took Eclipse 3.2 RC4 from http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.2RC4-200605121600/eclipse-SDK-3.2RC4-solaris-gtk-x86.zip Startup time is about 5 seconds. I'm a bit tired now, and will send my wish list + bug reports later this week, but it was worth returning to office to install 0.4.3a that I'd set to download this evening. Belenix will be my primary OS from now on. I want to get Wine working so that I can run the Lotus Notes 6.5.2 client on Belenix. Great work, guys :) -- Ram
