Hey all, I just downloaded the DVD and CD version of SXCE70 and this is my experience so far:
First of all, the new installer looks flashy and neat. I like the looks :D Then some things I bumped into during the installation. CD media: - Grub presents you the option to use the Developer's install or the "normal" installer. The Developers install is the default, but, Developer''s install is only available for DVD media, not CD media and it will give you an appropiate error message when trying to select the Developer's install anyway. During the install of Developer's install: I miss the opportunity to layout filesystems within my Solaris 2 partition. After I have chosen how I want to partition my harddisk I get some inqueries regarding Location, Timezone, root password etc. after which the installer just starts deploying the packages. I am pretty sure I was able to layout filesystems with SXDE 68 and 69. The installer for the "normal" installation is still the java/CDE installer, is this correct? This is what I actually use for the moment since it does allow me to lay out file systems.. I hope this info is usefull, Patrick / WickedWicky _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
