Michelle,
Couple of things which I had noted down
* In the prequsite list it would good be, if we explicitly mention that
Solaris requires a primary partition for installation. Because people try to
install Solaris on multiboot machine half-way through they recognize that
Solaris requires a primary partition so they have to start all over again
which is bad.
* In the re-partition section
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/reviews/chapter1/ch01s03.html
- I d'nt see why we need the steps 1-5. Is it just to know the current
parition layout ??
- In the step 6, It would be better if we mention that burn the
system-rescuecd iso image and reboot the system. Ask user to make sure that
(CD/DVD)rom is first boot device so that it boots up with system-rescudecd.
- Also we need to emphasize the repartition section aim is to create a free
Primary partition.
- The link "Home" in end of the page is broken points to wrong location.
And the next link is blank it would good if it points to "Installing the
OpenSolaris Software "
* In the Installing the OpenSolaris Software section
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/reviews/chapter2/
- There are lots of typo "i install" this section need to replace those
- Link "Home" at the bottom of the page is pointing to a wrong location
- It would be better to have "Next" link
* In "Configuring Xorg for nVidia for Solaris" section
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/reviews/chapter3/
- It says "configuring wireless networking" which is not related to this
section.
- It would be better to add a trouble shooting tip:-
Sometime after the installation of Solaris at first boot, if
Xorg/Xsun not configured properly dtlogin goes for a toss so user need to
reboot the machine with "-s" option from grub to land into "Single user"
mode and then start installation.
* In "Configuring Networking" section
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/reviews/chapter3/ch01s03.html
- It would be good to add links for Ginetmenu and Netprof for wireless.
- For ethernet card if user need to change the IP address/Hostname he has
no clue where to start. So it would be better to add "sys-unconfig" command
so that users need to runs and reboot the machine for setting it up.
