Actually, the Indiana Developer Preview *won't* give you the option to create a "Solaris new" partition. At the moment (this will change at some point) you *must* have a pre-existing Solaris2 partition on the disk you want to install Indiana on to. Or be familiar with the format and fdisk commands once booted up from the liveCD prior to running the Installer. Cheers, -- Glenn
