[OpenIndiana-discuss] Tribblix full screen on VirtualBox?

2021-03-03 Thread cretin1997 via openindiana-discuss
Sorry to post it here. I think in general Tribblix is more suitable to be a desktop than OI. IMHO OI is better as a graphical server when Tribblix better as a normal desktop. OI is way too bloated in size, thanks to IPS pkg. About unnecessary packages, Tribblix is as bad as OI since your overlay

Gary, OK I'll give that a whirl. I've got 2019.04 on a USB so I'll try that first. 2017.10 is on a DVD. I checked my 6 slot Z400 and it reports the same PCI info as the 4 slot machines. So I think there is more to it than we know about. I use a bound composition book for my admin notes, but

If someone actually documents the procedure, I'll test it just to verify it really works. But I'm not wasting any more time on arm waving. I just got a pair of 12 TB USB drives which I need to test. However, I think I'll try them with Debian first. Hipster 2020.10 is a joke. Reg On Wedne
