Yep. I knew about this, and reset the root password right away. And this problem was irrelevant as the system had no GUI; Gnome is what I was trying to install.

... but you are sure that it might not be your DVD, RAM or mainboard
that's giving you a hard time? I've never heard of similar problems with
151a8 so far on this list!

Weren't there some issues with some of the GUI tools related to the
(initial) root password being expired?

Rainer, have you changed the root password on the system at least once
since you initially chose one?

Thanks, I may take you up on that. Right now I'm installing software I need. Interestingly enough, on this install, the package manager is borked. It will start from the command line with pfexec, but not from the System->Administration menu. Easy enough to get around, but it makes me wonder how well the LiveCD image was tested...

Morning Rainer,

sorry to hear your understandable disappointment. But I'd still be willing to help diagnosing the network problem if you'd share the output of nwamcfg, dladm et cetera.

Cheers
 Stefan

Never mind; I've given up. :-(
I need to get going setting up software, so I'm reinstalling the LiveCD knowing the network is pooched and that it won't save desktop settings,
and who knows what else. Maybe the 151a9 update will fix things.

A very disappointed,
Rainer

I've been using:
pkg install -v {package}
 to install command-line tools, but it refuses to install Gnome.
Whenever I try:
pkg install -v {gnome,gnome-incorporation,etc}
it spins for a few moments "Creating plan", then comes back:
"No updates necessary for this image."

But this system doesn't have any of Gnome installed, nor does pkg
install actually install anything.

Between the 151a8 LiveCD not keeping the static network configurations
(nor any of my desktop settings, I discovered), and now this, I'm
about ready to ask if someone will send me a 151a7 LiveCD. 151a8 is
definitely borked.
