Ah, I didn't even think to look. Not sure how well that would have served my purpose; our system is running on solaris 10 with the coolstack packaging of the AMP stack (and my install/admin notes are specific to its installation into /opt/coolstack), so that's really what I was trying to mimic. Honestly, it probably would have been better for me to put S10 on my virtual box rather than OpenSolaris, but again, some of was personal interest hence the OpenSolaris route. But thanks for the info, good to know. And not surprising, I should have realized that it would be there (or available through the package repository). > Glynn > -- Alan McClellan OpenSolaris Documentation Community Manager #32171 +1 719-352-0993 http://blogs.sun.com/docexchange/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
