Hi all,
as a complete newbie to Solaris (FreeBSD and Linux user (various
distris)) I wanted to get some knowledge of opensolaris cpmpared to
FreeBSD and Linux. So I installed opensolaris from that "opensolaris
XXL" DVD attached to the German "iX" magazine.
My first experiences are:
(and if anybody from this ML could give me some help, that would be great!)
1) After the basic installation the "install launch" for Enterprise
System and the SW from "Companion CD" did not find the DVD (because I
have 2 DVD/CD drives?), so I had to cancel that. After finishing the
basic install I could access the DVD manually from console and install
the SW using the ./installer scripts
2) The KDE version 3.1 is hopelessly old compared to the KDE 3.5.1 on my
BSD and Linux
3) I can't change the display resolution as the KDE Control Center /
Peripherals / Display reproduceably always crashes and I don't find
anything like xorg.conf (and no hint in the docs..)
So it is kind of unusable..
4) I don't get any IP-Connection, no ping, no nothing
As the naming system for network interfaces seem to be different from
BSD and Linux, I am even not sure if the install has found and
configured an ethernet card
All my tries with google and docs did not help, I even can't use
ifconfig as I don't see how the interface is called.
(I have a Intel onboard 100/1000 card. In Linux it is the ee100/1000 driver)
As 3) and 4) really stop me from working with opensolaris I would be
very very thankful for help !
Thanks in advance, best regards
Axel
