I have downloaded os200805 twice 1 with SDM and 2 with DAP. I have burnt it
using sonic record now 7.3 and cd burner xp pro 4.2 in the iso image. I have
done these several times and ruined a bunch of discs. None of these things
worked trying to boot them on a clean hd. I even specified bootable in the
burners still nothing. I put the virtual machine on this computer and tried to
run them with it still nothing. I ordered the cd a couple days ago I hope that
it works. Does the open solaris live cd act like the ubuntu, I mean that you
run it ,use it and if you like it you can hit the install and if you want it
can take over the whole hd? I put the windows xp back in the machine I want to
use for this. I think ubuntu might have messed up the MBR I had to run the
recovery to repair it. Even with the MBR a little messed up one of the cd's I
burned should have run on this one that hasn't had any problems. After reading
all this can anyone see if I could have done something else, yo
u can probably tell I am a real beginner when it comes to this but learning. I
haven't seen anywhere a step by step procedure for downloading, burning and
installing open solaris at least for newbies. Right now I have the windows back
in with no updates just a basic install waiting either for the cd or a better
idea what to do. I still have the os200805 sitting in my DAP manager all 685.78
mb of it. Someone mentioned that I get the single DVD download and I appreciate
that but with this Hughes satellite internet I only have a 375 mb limit with a
3 hour open time from 2 am to 5 am. not enough time. Sorry this was so long
winded but I have had a lot of trouble. Maybe they will put DSL out here in the
country so I won't have any download restrictions. ANY IDEAS
