You have yet much to learn in the ways of google-fu ;) I loooed for keywords from last email, "klimov advanced livecd rpool" sufficed for top 3 https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Advanced+-+Manual+installation+of+OpenIndiana+from+LiveCD+media These might be tangentially helpful: https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Advanced+-+Creating+an+rpool+manually https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Advanced+-+Creating+aligned+rpool+partitions It seems OI wiki site lags at the moment... or my internet does... There should be copies in google cache, archive.org and on my github (illumos-articles repo). Good luck in the endeavour, Jim -- Typos courtesy of K-9 Mail on my Samsung Android _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
