I love how the article glosses over the installer The only OS that gets the whole HardDrive on my compurer is PCLinuxOS (It's that good to me). So you want to try this thing The download requires one of two conditions, a hit on Distrowatch,or an email address for a download. The file is compressed with a nonstandard (Windows) compressor. The hash for the compressed file is in a backwards location (Relog in to the download site to get the number. Check,uncompress,and burn the ISO. The installer wants the whole Disk NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I have a free PRIMARY PARTITION, (8 GB) The installer doesn't see the free primary partition. Fire up the Solaris FDISK with FORMAT. The thing shows the wrong numbers???? Check the partition table with an OS that I know works , my PCLINUXOS install disk,quess what it shows the CORRECT numbers for my partition table. Try the OpenSolaris Nexenta disk again Fdisk with format again picks random,or incorrect numbers. Life is too short I wont waste my time on this stuff again.
