Thanks moinakg for taking time to reply me.
It worked fine.
By the way, I would like to know the difference between this product and SUN's
Solaris.
BeleniX is an alternative OpenSolaris distribution that is currently
a LiveCD.
It is based upon the OpenSolaris sources and additional GNU and other
OpenSource software.
Solaris is SUN's official supported distribution of OpenSolaris that
is way
more complete, feature packed and tested.
There are other alternative OpenSolaris distributions like SchilliX,
Nexenta
and marTux.
That doesn't come as a Live CD. You could download 10.0 version from SUN
nowadays.
Yes it is a complete installable distribution. However there is a Kit
available
to create Live DVDs out of Solaris Express Community edition DVD images:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/livemedia/
Though this is at present only works with the older Build 44. I am
updating
this to work with the recent build 49. Should be done in a day or two.
Does the file is system same in both products?
Yes, same OS, same filesystems, same core OS features. It is the overall
setup and bundling of software that differs.
In SUN's Solaris they talk about slices not partitions.
They are C0t0d0s0 , c1t1d1s1, etc.
Same in both. You must create a partition in x86 to install Solaris
or any
other OpenSolaris distribution. However additional sub-partitions may be
created within this partition to store filesystems like /, /usr, /tmp
etc. These
are called slices.
All these conventions/standards apply to OpenSolaris and thus apply
to any
distribution created out of it.

Moinak.
