Thanks to the help here, I have EON installed and booting. I then ran into something that was mysterious to me, but managed to find out what was happening. I'm posting this for other greenhorn users.
When you add users to EON, apparently the only way that info persists past a boot is to update the boot image. I was losing all of my newly created users every time I booted. You have to run updimg.sh each time you add a user or (I'm guessing) any configuration data other than what's strictly in the zfs. Upon reflection, that's not a terrible thing, and even quite logical once I think about it, but without the concept that "everything in the configuration that persists from boot to boot has to be saved with updimg.sh" was not obvious to me at first. It makes sense that you don't go put your user/group/configuration stuff out on the zfs disks. But it took me a long time to think of it. I think this would be a GREAT thing to add as a one-sentence hint in the getting started section of the EON pages, right after the "create your users" stuff. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ distribution-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/distribution-discuss
