Actually, you don't. Just choose the "Solaris Express" option and use the old installer instead of the "Solaris Express Developer Edition" option. Once you've finished installing, you can run the script to install the developer tools from the DVD. I used the text installer to install snv75 at home without issue. For the installer to have picked such small sizes for your /export/home and swap, you must have very limited disk space. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
