Re: [osol-discuss] From Linux to OpenSolaris
Hey Jerry, If you want to give Open Solaris a try, you can try BeleniX .. http://www.belenix.org Its a live CD and seems to fit your requirement.

Well it seems you are mixing up fresh install and building from source steps. Of course you need to install from DVD if you want to do a fresh install. To grab the Solaris Express Community Release DVD head over to: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/ In addition to fresh install from install DVD (or CD) you can build OpenSolaris from source or update your installed version of Solaris Express via prebuilt binary archives to get the latest and greatest stuff.

[osol-discuss] Cross Compile OpenSolaris in Linux?
This may sound crazy, building OpenSolaris in Linux host, by bootstrapping the compiler (Sun compiler?) and use the produced compiler and other necessary package to compile the OS. Has anyone done that? or is it possible? I guess as a pre-requisite, SunStudio must be running in linux first to be able to do this. The reason I do this is because I only have left with one machine for experimentation and at this time, the Linux FC5 can't be removed.

[osol-discuss] Re: Community Proposal: HPC Developer
First off I admit that I work with Brad Lewis, so you can take what I say as biased support. In the HPC world there is always need for more tools to help trace down problems as well as find better solutions. Parallel environments make finding bugs very hard and sometimes difficult to reproduce. Also, there are mysteries in why a parallel program performs well in one scenario and poorly in another. The tools Brad proposes aim at addressing these needs for developers. On a related topic, one of the strong uses for HPC systems is mathematical applications such as CBLAS. Occasionally there are requests for mathematical routines not contained in the Sun Performance Library. These customers can't accept an unsupported solution that is written just for them. An HPC community would be a great place to provide this support. This benefits both customers loyal to Sun as well as providing connections with computational math research institutions around the world. Such collaboration seems to be at the heart of the OpenSolaris community. I foresee this as being a vehicle to expand Sun's presence in the academic mathematical world.

[osol-discuss] Re: From Linux to OpenSolaris
Installing Solaris from a another active version of OS i.e. Windows/Linux and other OS's would allow Open Solaris a whole new world of users, this install process would need to support a Java installer classes and use the native system properties with the ability to have java classes run. So in using this methodology is supported by some versions of Linux to allow a Windows user run a setup Linux on their hard drive and boot into it. This would offer an extra avenue to bring a whole lot of legacy Linux servers over to Open Solaris. So the DVD installer java classes would need to manipulate partitioning with fdisk then run a newfs with ufs or zfs native support under the native OS, installing/modifying a boot block with native version of installboot/installgrub and run a java version installer from the DVD that calls pfiinstall and pkgadd of the cluster choice that the user chooses, and would be needed and allow the user to reboot the new Solaris kernel on the newly defined partition!
