[install-discuss] Re: Re: Purpose of .tmp_proto on s0 and s1?

When an install client boots, ./tmp_proto/root/etc/inet/hosts is copied into /tmp/root/etc/inet/hosts. sysidnet then runs and updates /tmp/root/etc/inet/hosts, so your customizations are likely getting overwritten. sysndnet looks for the entry with "myhost" in it (without FQDN) and replaces it.

[install-discuss] SXDE auto partition and tools install

When running in text mode, the installer doesn't account for the developer tools. Only when you choose SXDE from the GRUB menu does the installer consider space for the developer tools. You could manually allocate more space for "/" in text mode if you know you're going to be installing the tools

[install-discuss] trouble in installing OpenSolaris 2008.11

If you don't care what's currently in the 60g extended partitition, you can use solaris 'fdisk' while booted to the OpenSolaris 2008.11 LiveCD to delete that 60GB partition and the create a 20Gb Solaris2 partition. The installer will then find that 20Gb Solaris2 partition and happily install onto i
