The text installer provides slice manipulation as a method for coexistence with existing UFS installations (and as a way to divvy up the disk on SPARC systems).
/var and /opt can be managed via ZFS after the install completes. Currently, they are folders on the boot filesystem (rpool/ROOT/opensolaris at first install). There's no need for var and opt to be on a separate slice from the root install. - Keith On 02/22/10 04:37 PM, Kendall Tatum wrote: > I have been experimenting with the text-based installer build > textinstaller-131b.
