Решил сделать LU по быстрому, надеялся, что “проскочит”. Проскочило – но не совсем. Перезагрузился в новую среду, все О.К., попробовал, наступил на грабли – решил вернуться обратно. А тут облом подкрался незаметно 😉

Мысленный поток в пятницу – включен. Поговорим о старом добром.

Свежее обновление. Жизнь налаживается. Это у нас пресс-релиз, как бы ни о чем.

If you’re one of the many people out there who are intrigued by OpenSolaris, and want to try it out for yourselves, but are worried about how to go about doing it, you’re in the right place. In this article, I will show you step by step how to start with a machine with no OS (or running windows) and download OpenSolaris binaries and install it. Then create a 2nd partition using OpenSolaris LiveUpgrade, download OpenSolaris source, compile it and install it on the 2nd partition. In the end, I will walk you through how to modify the source and install the modified kernel on the 2nd partition so that your original OpenSolaris partition and workspace don’t get impacted while you are experimenting with modifying the kernel.
