Solaris x86 for the beginner: Discovery
So without to much looking I very quickly discover many notes from other folks that have trodden this path before. Notably a number on Acer machines (no that was not a surprise to me).
In no particular order then:
Interesting. I don't intend to use Linux at the moment, though I may try BrandZ later on. One thing I most certainly will do is provide an alternative Solaris partition so that I can continue to use live upgrade once the initial installation is complete. I also don't have Partition Magic and so intend to use an alternative product...
Same hardware. Same requirements and Same low-budget thoughts and link to System Rescue CD which includes QtParted; a Linux GUI disk partitioning tool.
Perhaps now is a good time to mention that currently Solaris does not include a non-Solaris disk partitioning tool (if you hadn't already guessed).
Richard has also put together a useful set of links on the BigAdmin site entitled Resources for Running Solaris OS on a Laptop. which I'm going to go and read now while the ISO image of System rescue CD v0.3.02 downloads...
