Al, This is a laptop with 512MB RAM. The base laptop has 256M and I've populated the extra slot with another 256M so no, there's no more expansion slots available. A state of the art OS shouldn't be this bloated. I don't think Solaris needs more than 256MB of RAM to run satisfactorily. I've got Solaris 10 FCS running on a 256MB machine. It's the installer that is busted. regards Dev This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
