Dave, I got your following email. I am not a developer, but is quite interested in OSs, which are not MS windows. I am glad that some people are keeping up the Open Solaris as Open Indiana, for I believe that one or two companies should not dictate to the world, like the Microsoft.
I downloaded the OS and tried it. Still trying it. CD worked quickly. It saw the video card, connected to the internet even before the full desktop came to life. Then I installed it. It doesn't see any other partitions with Windows or Linux. The Package Manager didn't want to open as it asked for a root password. Interestingly the Terminal accepts the user password as root's while the graphic window doesn't. I tried my little knowledge in writing in the Terminal, which opened up the Package Manager, but got the following; "Could not operate on /var/pkg/lock because of insufficient permissions. Please try the command again using pfexec or otherwise increase your privileges." How do you go from here, I don't know. When installed, OpenIndiana only saw MS Windows in the choose panel, (well, I don't know ho wit is called), but doesn't see its partition when Openindiana is opened. I had to get back to Linux, so I had to re-install Mint, but after installing, Mint doesn't see th eOpenindiana partition, nor it is there in the choose panel or GRUB panel. I still have the DVD with OpenIndiana, and there is that installed partition in the hard disk. I would like have OpenIndiana together with Linux and also MS windows (hmmm...I need windows for certain programs, which doesn't ever work with Linux. Don't know, whether these would work with OpenIndiana) If you could help, I'd appreciate that very much! Best regards!
