I have previously installed Solaris 10, which does not have a driver for my sound card. Apparently opensolaris is not favoured by J2EE developers because of it's immaturity. If this problem means that I am unable to install the Express edition, which the hardware detection tool says has a sound card driver for my hardware. then I am total sunk as far as getting a working Solaris system on my PC. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
