Not necessarily. Features deemed fit for OpenSolaris might never make it into
Solaris. There is already code out there that is running on OpenSolaris that
didn't make it into Solaris, and might never make it.

Hi
Sun just released '-01" patches to Sun Studio 12 and i did a try.
libupnp 1.6.0 sources now build succesfully with Sun Studio 12 too :-)
env settings :
PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
CPP=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E
CXX=/opt/SU
Most partition tools aren't smart enough, probably.
Also, the old Solaris partition number conflicted with the Linux swap partition
number (never mind that the Solaris partition number existed first), which
is why current Solaris prefers another non-conflicting number now.

Hi
I have windows, solaris and Linux on one disk.. =)
Just wanna ask, what partition tool are you trying to use? And if you won't
mind, what linux distro are you trying to install?

Hi,
I am installing OpenSolaris right now on some free space on a disk that contains
Linux. Much to my surprise the partition tool warned me that installing on the
same disk as Linux was "not supported". Could someone explain? Should I fear
it actually does not work, or is it just you don't wan

Cripes! I used to teach Microfocus COBOL (Completely Over and Beyond Obvious
Logic (tm)) 25 years ago! If anyone needs a
trainer, I could brush up very quickly; given the right resources ;-)

I looked at the software list of Blastwave (blastwave.org) but they don't have
Cobol.
But if you use pkgsrc (pkgsrc.org) on (Open)Solaris then you will find
opencobol and tinycobol in it.

Are you looking for a COBOL compiler or for source written in the COBOL
language as part of the OpenSolaris sources ?
BTW you won't find either of those on OpenSolaris.org.

I think the problem is solvable, but it'd require lateral thinking.
1. I do not think that OpenSolaris team can solve that in first place. Not
because they aren't smart, but because they shouldn't be the guys handling
end-user usability issues. Kernel developers are not the guys to hire for that

It looks like it was deferred because it's not necessarily a video
class compliant device (meaning "nonstandard") and thus will probably
take a fair bit of work

It's unclear what you're asking, but I *think* you're asking about

By the way, I agree with you. Where we (perhaps) disagree is the means to get
