No more SXCE No more Sparc-Workstation No more JumpStart No more pkgadd
=>>>>so here is my new Sparc-PC: Sparc-Ultra 45 (used as Server) + Opensolaris Build 133 + Sunray 2FS & Sunray-Laptop I burned a CD with the text-based installer image (the automatic installer is terrible) based on build 131 from Genunix: $ wget http://www.genunix.org/dist/caiman/textinstall-131-sparc.iso updated to build 133 by: $ pfexec pkg refresh --full $ pfexec pkg image-update Note: Please read the following important Bug: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=14702 and act accordingly ! I installed Gnome..(+ 2.8GByte of Packages): $ pfexec pkg install pkg:/redistributable $ init 6 $ svcadm enable gdm ( for a Bug in ssh enter) $ pfexec chmod 666 /dev/ptmx OK now you can have Opensolaris on an Sparc-Workstation (some problems with mouse and keyboard) If your Workstation/Server is too noisy and /or you don't like the keyboard problem, I recommend to buy a Ultra Thin Client Sunray 2 or 2FS: First you must upgrade the X-Server to Build 134 because of Bug 6926250 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6926250 by downloading: $ wget http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/B134/x-pit-134.tar.bz2 and follow the Instruction in README I installed SRSS 4.2 (the Sunray Software) following the Instruction: http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRSS_4.1_on_OpenSolaris_2008.11 and http://chrisgerhard.wordpress.com/tag/sun-ray/ + solving a sparc only Bug by adding to /opt/SUNWut/lib/utxsun > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRAR_PATH:/usr/lib/xorg/sparcv9 > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH yes we can ...it's running soon all Cell phones will have Linux so Opensolaris can only survive on Sparc. But if nobody uses Opensolaris on Sparc Opensolaris will die in all of this Bugs. Bob
