A couple of things. There is no such thing as opensolaris 10. There is solaris 10, and there's opensolaris 2009.06. Commonly called sol10 or osol. #1 I recommend using something else for laptops. Solaris/opensolaris work best as servers (notice oracle does not sell laptops.) IMHO, ubuntu would be a preferable OS for that purpose, due to greater software compatibility with various apps on the internet, and more powerful GUI and hardware support, and better handling of sleep/power management / device removal. That being said, some people do use it for desktops/laptops. We debate about it frequently. They can't be convinced to change, and neither can I. ZFS is pretty awesome. Although ubuntu comes with zfs-fuse, a lot of people discourage using it. #2 You are installing SunOS 5.10. This is not opensolaris. The recommended product (and only legal product) in your case would be opensolaris. Please go to opensolaris.org. #3 The latest download from opensolaris.org is *not* the recommended one to install on your laptop. If you go to "downloads" and look under "developer builds" you'll see a reference to genunix.org. Here, you will find the latest release. Although it is called a "developer build," it is not unstable or experimental. You should find that it's reliable and solid, and it's the best version available. This is probably what you want: http://genunix.org/dist/indiana/osol-dev-134-x86.iso _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
