By the way, BigAdmin will gladly post a link to any such instructions or
other Open-Solaris resources, should the unwary OpenSolaris developer
stumble upon our woodland hut by mistake. :-) Let me know if that
would be useful to you.

I received a free OpenSolaris Starter Kit from Sun at a conference they
held in Atlanta. I subsequently went to the OpenSolaris site assuming I
would find instructions on how to install Solaris Express Community
Edition.
Someone goofed. Amidst all the excellent material presented on the site,
the one thing I could not find is how to install the OS. I know it must
be there somewhere, but to bury the information, which seems to me to be
easily the first thing which a viewer should see, is not the way to
interest new users and developers in the OS. Maybe members of the
community should rethink the site design.
Nonetheless I am still looking for documentation on how to install
OpenSolaris Community Edition. Since I have multiple OSs installed on my
computer I need to make the disk space and partitions available in which
to install OpenSolaris Community Edition in order to run it. I know how
to do this for my computer and since I have System Commander as my
multi-boot I have no doubt I can also boot OpenSolaris Community Edition
once I install it. So my question is: which partition(s) types does
OpenSolaris Community Edition need or allow ?
Can I install into a small boot partition which is not the MBR ? Can I
specify a separate root and home partitions ala Linux ? What partition
type(s) does OpenSolaris Community Edition use ? Can OpenSolaris
Community Edition read and write to Linux ext3 partitions ? Can
OpenSolaris Community Edition read from NTFS partitions ? Is there any
documentation anywhere on the web, hopefully on the OpenSolaris site
somewhere, which gives this information ?
