http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/getting_started_guide.html#geibv "Existing extended partitions are not visible during the Developer release installation, but the primary fdisk partition in which the extended partition resides is visible." http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-help/2006-October/002546.html "It is currently not possible to install Solaris onto an extended partition. You must install on a primary partition." Glenn Lagasse - Sun As I said before, you cannot install it on an extended partition. Resize your existing partitions using a tool such as qtparted, or gparted (backup everything first!). Then create another primary partition and install there. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/
