If you go to genunix.org (using the URL in my previous email) you can simply download the 134 iso file there. And install the OS from it. If you ever need to remember this, there's a ridiculously simple way to figure it out each time. Go to http://opensolaris.org (not to be confused with opensolaris.com) Go to the "download" page, and start reading. Before too long, you'll see some info about downloading and installing, or upgrading to developer releases.

This is true, if you specify the whole device. For example, if you format & partition c0t0d0, and then you "zpool create tank c0t0d0", then you're going to obliterate your format and partitions. However, if you "zpool create tank c0t0d0p1" or "zpool create tank c0t0d0s1" then it will use the slice (partition) instead of the whole device. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
