Hello: Lately I am into reading quite a lot about the project and quite naturally wish to try it for myself. At the moment I have WinXP + Ubuntu + Fedora installed on it ans wish to replace the Fedora with OpenSolaris.
So, the fdisk -l returns the following picture: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 2551 4474 15454530 83 Linux /dev/sda3 4475 6386 15358140 83 Linux /dev/sda4 6387 14593 65922727+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 6387 6434 385528+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 6435 14593 65537136 7 HPFS/NTFS where you can see that sda1 = WinXP sda2 = Fedora sda3 = Ubuntu sda5 = swap sda6 = NTFS data storage, accessible from all 3 current OS I carefully watched the screencasts located here http://frsun.downloads.edgesuite.net/sun/07C00892/index.html In one of them, although referring to Solaris Express, it says that should I format partition X to Solaris, all subsequent partitions will be erased? Please answer for me the following questions: 1) Should I decide to install OpenSolaris on sda2, will this kill all subsequent partitions and destroy the data on them? 2) If the answer to the above is "Yes", how should I proceed best, so that I have WinXP + Ubuntu + OpenSolaris installed on my laptop? 3) In the other screencasts I found online, I did not see option to disable the automatic install of GRUB by OpenSolaris install. How can this be achieved? I wish to keep the GRUB installed by Ubuntu and add OpenSolaris in there, rather than replacing the existing with a fresh OpenSolarish GRUB and add the existing OS in it. For any assistance and links to RTFM I would be much obliged ;) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
