I managed to get OI installed on it. Gnome/Xserver does not work properly, same for Wifi. Ethernet is quite flaky. It's a start so the bug hunting begins. On another note I installed OI in VirtualBox on a MacBook Pro (2.4GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) and out of the box it works very well. I built

Didn't realise ZFS was that hungry. I guess I don't notice at work as our servers have minimum 32GB RAM. I'll give XStream OS a go but I still would like to give OpenIndiana a try. Shame there's no text-based install to get things off the ground. Was there one originally that was deprecated? On

Hi All, I'm a new OpenIndiana user and thought I would try to get it going on my Samsung NC10 netbook. I can successfully boot the live USB distro but the only option in the GRUB menu that works is the text-mode. This drops me to a console which I can login fine and otherwise everything looks neat
