I am following up on some recent postings on the memory requirements for
installing the latest builds from Solaris Express.
The current documentation for Solaris Express contains information about
recent memory recommendations.
Solaris Express documentation is published with each release and can be
found on the docs.sun.com website at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.exp#hic
The documentation set includes 3 collections right now:
Solaris Express Release and Installation Collection
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1236.2)
Solaris Express Package List
Solaris Express Release Notes
What's New in Solaris Express
Solaris Express Software Developer Collection
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/45.26)
Writing Device Drivers
Solaris Express System Administrator Collection
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/47.23)
Solaris Tunable Parameters Reference Manual
System Administration Guide: Advanced Administration
System Administration Guide: Basic Administration
System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems
For each Solaris Express release, we update the "Solaris Express Release
Notes" and "What's New in Solaris Express" books. Other books are
regularly updated and published by Sun writers. As Solaris Express is an
early access release vehicle for the next Solaris release, documentation
is not always in lock-step with the code. Over time, the collections
will grow as our writers work with developers to cover features that
integrate through OpenSolaris.
man pages for Solaris Express are contained in the SUNWman package,
which can be downloaded for installation. man pages are generally
available with the same build as the code, but may at times be delayed
by a build or 2.
The full set of Solaris 10 documentation is available at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.10
This documentation is not yet available as open source. For more
information on the road map for OpenSolaris feature documentation, check
out the Documentation community page at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/feature_docs/.
Thanks,
Sue

Subject: [osol-discuss] Solaris Express 0605 / Schillix install on
Laptop with 256MB ram

I know this is slightly off topic, and if too much so, please let me
know the best place to go ;)..
I have a HP Omnibook 4150 PIII 500Mhz laptop with 256MB of ram. I have
somewhat successfully gotten Solaris Express 0405 (build 10) to work,
but wanted to take advantage of the new acpi / GRUB booting features.
I believe that I'm meeting the minimum requirements of Schilix and
Solaris Express 0605 (build 15). When I boot the Schillix or Solaris
Express (0605) install cd, I get a GRUB boot error:
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
Press any key to continue...
It would seem that there is an issue with not having enough memory. If
anyone is aware of a workaround I would very much appreciate it.
Any other comments suggesting that it will never work is ok too, then I
won't spend too much more time on it :) .
Regards,
-Karlyn
