Hello David, Are you aware that there is a complete olvwm/Openwin package for Solaris 10 on freshmeat.net, assuming that is the direction you need to go?
Or, given your embedded system platform, is TWM an option for you? ........................ Also, in reference to your ZFS comment below, and quoting the same 2009 thread, there was discussion of something called CZFS that is part of the ARM Solaris port. This is a verbatim quote from Darren Moffat from that discussion - "Again see the ARM project there is an alternate build of ZFS called CZFS which is specifically for limited memory configurations. " Hope this is of some value to you, Jerry On 11/22/11 08:35 PM, David Halko wrote: > Of course I meant 128M - typo due to phone or flashback to > compiling assembly on my 2nd multi-user timeshare system? ;-) > (I am more proficient in Assembly than C - ha ha!) > > I also saw old sun blogs talking about shrinking OpenSolaris, > but I have not seen a recent distribution with a small footprint. > > 256MB is too big for my embedded systems, unfortunately. > > Solaris 10 ran in 128MB with gnome.
