But the Solaris installer doesn't read the data at that rate. If it got the drive going then it would be fine, but it spends half its time jumping all over the place, and even when doing nothing but reading a simple data stream it's at a very much slower rate. The problem is in the install process being slow, not in how fast the media is. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
