Hi, Barbara

I have few feedbacks on the Getting Started doc.

Some comments for above docs:

Page 5: Installation Options
Option 4 can not apply to LiveCD. (Dave also pointed out).

Page 14:
Table 1-2
Linux, or Windows and Linux
Note...
"the Solaris partition must precede the Linux swap partition."

I think this request is not practical, unless delete Linux swap 
partition, seems
can't create a partition precede it. Maybe we need some other workaround.

Page 14: Partitioning a Multiboot System

"Prior to installing, you need to create a partition for installing
the OpenSolaris software."

Slim GUI installer can also create Solaris partition, so create partition
before install is not mandatory.

P16: Howto Install OpenSolaris 2008.11

"The installation uses a previously created Solaris fdisk partition..."

Maybe the better is:
The installation uses an existing partition or new created Solaris fdisk 
partition
