Last Saturday we had BOSUG (Bangalore OpenSolaris User Group) meet. We are back to basics again as new people are joining BOSUG we need to repeat some of the topics again.

The following topics are covered by Moinak. 

Getting Started with OpenSolaris Part 1
--------------------------------------------------

* Identify the features of the Solaris operating environment.
* Device and disk naming, partitioning, slices, filesystems, vfstab etc.
 in OpenSolaris.
* Accessing removable media - CDROM, Pen Drive
* Installing Solaris Express - Video demo.
* Post Install configuration tips:
 - PATH Settings
 - Default Shell
 - Xorg Configuration - ouch! And support for Nvidia, Intel i815,i915

* Adding/Removing new Users

 * Bootup process and boot options (from GRUB), shutdown.
* Network Configuration - Manual process and using Inetmenu
* Installing Software - SVR4 Packaging
* Where do I get more software: Blastwave, Pkgsrc, Sunfreeware, Companion CD
* Where do I get drivers: tools.de, Masayuki Murayama's network drivers etc.
* Where do I get help: BigAdmin

 Process tools and utilities available in OpenSolaris was also planned but we didn't have enough time to cover them.

Finally Pradhap showed the installation of Solaris Express.

We took a video of it. Currently I need to covert the raw video which is around 12GB!

I am finding ways of putting the video online. yaa I can put it on youtube but the quality will be lost and probably the commands which Moinak showed won't be clear. Still can try it out.
 But thought I will put the video taken in the end covering all the attendees. (u want to be on video?, attend the next meeting )
