The LiveCD is supposed to automatically configure available network interfaces through dhcp. I suspect the kernel didn't recognize the network hardware in your machine; no network interface ==> no internet access. Check with: /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v /usr/sbin/prtconf -Dv scanpci output should show which pci network devices are present in the system. And prtconf -D should list which Solaris device driver is used with the network hardware. > 2) Can't get opensolaris to recognize an USB Thumb > Drive when it plugs in. Mounting fat filesystems from hotplugged usb storage devices should work automatically with the installed OS. IIRC, on the LiveCD the code to automatically mount hotplugged devices has been removed; either to save some space on the CD media so that it fits on a regular CD media; or to save some space in memory, so that OpenSolaris is installable on hardware with only 512MB of memory. Try a manual mount: - iostat -En (lists the available disk devices) - mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /mnt (mount fat filesystem, replace c2t0d0.. with the device found in iostat -En output) Another possible problem: The usb device is formatted with an ntfs filesystem (or some other filesystem that isn't supported on Solaris out-of-the-box). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
