Hi Reg, Thanks for the suggestions. Is there instructions anywhere for how to create the USB boot disk? Many thanks, Andrew. = Something I forgot to mention. You're a lot better off booting from a USB disk than setting up dual boot. Many years ago I got a system to boot S

Hello Andrew,    I've just done a fresh install of Openindiana and noticed that the installer recognized an attached USB disk when it asked me where I wanted to install. I didn't use it but can you not just go ahead if it sees the disk ? As a related matter I need WinXP for lega

Hi everyone, I've been having some problems with automatic snapshots since oi b147 but never quite looked into it. Updated to 148 and that hasn't fixed anything. The snapshots are basically not getting taken at all. I've discovered that zfs get all rpool |grep auto-snapshot returns nothing which

1) Boot the Live Image 2) Identify the internal disk so you don't stomp on it 3) Plug the USB disk into a convenient port You will ALWAYS need to plug into the same port to boot the disk. NB There are several removable volume managers which will try to mount the disk. That can make things a b

Hi Reg, Actually this is what I'd done initially, and the problem was that it appeared to work but then wouldn't boot on subsequent attempts. However what I'd done was booted from the live USB image (because of the SATA issue discussed elsewhere, I couldn't even get the live cd to boot). So I ha
