Session persistance on Indiana RC2
I've releases the alpha-works-for-me version of the session persistance scripts for Indiana RC2 (to be OpenSolaris 2008.05). the tar file can be downloaded from here. You can keep track of this bug for further enhancements.
Howto create LiveUSB: Untar the file when running from the LiveCD, and run ./usbdump. Verbose output is set to on, so a lot of text would scroll by. Just follow the instructions on screen. Minimum 1 Gb pen drive required.
No time to type more.. leaving for the Opensolaris Summit and Javaone. I intend to update this blog regularly with pictures from the conferences, so keep a lookout. If you're attending the summit, do say hi :)

Any interest in KDE 4.0.74 (aka KDE 4.1) on Belenix 0.7.1??
Posted by Ken on May 18, 2008 at 10:25 PM IST #
Not for 0.7.1 as it is a miantainence release (3.5.9 would be what we move to). KDE4 can be an option for 0.8
I see you've also posted to the belenix-dev list, so the discussion can continue there :)

Is it possible to get more infromation about the modifying of the microroot in the script?
I have the following problem
My cdrom drive is quiet picky in which cdrom media it will use so
I am running virtualbox with opensolaris livecd iso on a 1gb laptop the script hits a performance wall when it trys to unzip the microroot.
-200-300MB xp
-live cd virtual box no idea for sure but around 500MB intotal?
-then microot gets copyed 50MB and unzipped 150mb and moved around etc... this leads to virtualbox running out of memory or very very very very slow unzipping.
So i have a question about the following part in the scrip,t i am very novice with all the unix stuff but the following I totally can not grasp the meaning of?(script part below)
-copy zipped microroot to tmp
-unzip the microroot
-create a iso device of the microroot
-unarchive allbak and do nothing with it cause CDIR stand for the pwd where the script has started?
-unmount the unzipped microroot and remove the iso device
-rm directory where it was mounted
-copy it back without anything changed??
#modify microroot
cp $mnt/boot/x86.microroot /tmp/x86.microroot.gz
cd /tmp
gunzip x86.microroot.gz
microlofi=`lofiadm -a /tmp/x86.microroot`
mkdir /mnt/microroot
mount $microlofi /mnt/microroot
cd /mnt/microroot
tar -xvf $CDIR/allbak.tar
cd $CDIR
umount /mnt/microroot
rmdir /mnt/microroot
lofiadm -d $microlofi
rm $mnt/boot/x86.microroot
gzip -9 /tmp/x86.microroot
cp /tmp/x86.microroot.gz $mnt/boot/x86.microroot
ty very much :) for any explanation in advance
