[00:21:52] <richlowe> nothing like tools having to support 3 different SCMs. [00:22:10] <Gman> i don't think anyone should have a good excuse for staying with teamware [00:22:30] <Gman> at least, not for future work [00:22:38] <Gman> [maintaining past is probably ok] [00:22:43] <stevel> tell you what, when i invent the giant remote controlled boot that lets me kick automountd in the arse, i'll let you borrow it for kicking DevPro and alanc ;-) [00:22:46] <Gman> though in that case i'd encourage a branch of the tools [00:23:01] <Gman> alanc just needs a few more resources [00:23:21] <Gman> and to be locked up in a room for the weekend :) [00:24:25] <noyb> resources == beer :) [00:24:49] <Gman> stevel, i actually think you guys have done a pretty good job with the scm infrastructure so far [00:24:50] <boyd> stevel: Isn't that what pkill -V is for?

[00:29:51] <Gman> well, i figured you were :) [00:31:13] <richlowe> I meant on the interest list, not "interested" :) [00:31:37] <Gman> yes [00:31:47] <richlowe> 6495786 sank to new lows, I wondered if I'd get another like it :) [00:32:07] * Gman intends to use the interest list as much as possible [00:32:33] <Gman> richlowe, yeah, you'll get a new useless piece of notification :) [00:34:07] <Gman> richlowe, how possible is it for you to get to the dev conference in february? [00:36:05] <alanc> sure, kick at me while I'm in the lab [00:36:16] <richlowe> no better time for it. [00:36:21] <richlowe> the fans would deaden the noise. [00:36:39] <alanc> you want X off teamware, you send someone to convert our trees and our custom tools [00:36:54] <alanc> and re-train our staff [00:37:03] <Gman> your staff of how many? :) [00:37:07] <Tpenta> a more than fair point alanc [00:37:39] * stevel adds a filter to add richlowe to the interest list of every bug filed against website ;-) [00:37:40] <alanc> they're confused enough between teamware, cvs & git already - adding more systems to remember will be painful [00:37:48] <stevel> what do you use git for? [00:38:15] <alanc> Gman: direct staff - 5, additional people who work with the tree, probably 1-2 dozen more [00:38:17] <richlowe> stevel: Xorg upstream.

[01:01:42] <boyd> Gman: I mean, how do you get the URLS for the threads that you use in the news? Do you read in a mail reader and then good for the link in pipermail or what? [01:01:45] <Gman> eboutilier, evil! [01:01:50] <twincest> robg: try 'man cc' [01:01:50] <boyd> eboutilier: hehe [01:01:51] <eboutilier> Welllllllllllll Ummmmmmmmm. [01:02:00] <Gman> boyd, yeah, i just browse through mailman and copy them in [01:02:04] <twincest> 'cc -#' on an empty C file will also work [01:02:09] <eboutilier> eboutilier: Yeah, that's what I thought. Hmpf. [01:02:18] <eboutilier> :) [01:02:22] <Gman> though would be kinda cool if the mail to the list included some sort of X-Mailman-Archive-Link header :) [01:02:26] <boyd> Gman: bummer...

[01:08:15] <Gman> reponse times in the team do vary unfortunately [01:08:20] <richlowe> Gman: 3 or 4, I think. :) [01:10:39] *** bondolo has joined #opensolaris [01:11:11] <nachox> what bug? :) [01:11:27] <stevel> richlowe is just bitter because he thought his "Java Desktop System" came with a desktop [01:11:32] <stevel> silly richlowe [01:11:37] <stevel> trying to drag and drop [01:11:47] <richlowe> nachox: drag-n-crash. :) [01:11:54] *** gm152 has joined #opensolaris [01:12:29] <nachox> never had that problem, i had a ghost trashcan though [01:13:20] <Gman> richlowe, when you upgrade to b53, tell me if it's fixed [01:13:25] <Gman> if it's not, i'll put pressure on our guys [01:13:29] <Tpenta> interestign rich, i got your response before i saw my posting [01:13:30] <Gman> because basically it's a stopper [01:14:22] *** _william_ has quit IRC [01:15:17] <Gman> Tpenta, the lists seem to be running slow today [01:15:29] <Tpenta> actually i think i got the reply direct from rich [01:15:49] <Tpenta> richlowe, I'm actually happy for them to go into usr/src/tools/licenses as an alternate [01:15:49] <nachox> Gman: well, it differentiates jds from other gnome distributions, and that is the reason distributions customize it ;) [01:15:55] <Tpenta> as long as the go into the tree [01:17:48] <richlowe> Tpenta: alanc said earlier that mail was taking a bunch of time to get back to him, too. [01:19:55] <Tpenta> I was just commenting to stevel that the encumbered bins non-debug stuff that i'm doing could easily be broken up into 3 bugs. [01:19:55] <Tpenta> 1. the encumbered bins stuff [01:19:55] <Tpenta> 2. usr/src/Makefile [01:19:55] <Tpenta> 3. licenses into the ON tree [01:20:10] <robg> okay next question... if I have a statement #if(defined(__SUNPRO_C)) [01:20:25] <alanc> yeah, and you probably don't want to see that mail either, since we're arguing over how exactly vino will give sparc users a big middle finger sign when they try to run it [01:20:45] <richlowe> Tpenta: I think #1 and #2 should happen together, personally. [01:21:04] *** ShadowHntr has joined #opensolaris [01:21:05] <Tpenta> i think i could make #2 happen within days if i tried, #1 will take some time in review [01:21:06] <richlowe> Hm, though #2 could happen without #1 [01:21:08] <robg> and the Sun compiler constat says __SUNCPRO_C_=0x580 with it pick it up? [01:21:11] <richlowe> #1 without #2 doesn't make much sense though. [01:21:17] <twincest> robg: yes [01:21:26] *** gisburn has joined #opensolaris [01:21:29] <twincest> robg: assuming you meant __SUNPRO_C and not __SUNCPRO_C_ [01:21:33] <Tpenta> basically i was thinking that i'd like to knock over #2 to make it easier for folks to build [01:21:36] <gisburn> Is James Carlson here ? [01:21:53] <richlowe> Tpenta: yeah, that makes sense. Sorry, I was reading in a sense of ordering that wasn't there :) [01:22:18] <Tpenta> and if we could break the licences thing out, that would also simplify matters for all of us [01:22:23] <robg> twincest: So even though it is truncated it is okay? [01:22:26] <noyb> is there a place where we can get details of what exactly "encumbered bins" means? It would be great to see which binary files are encumbered and why they have this status. [01:22:27] <Tpenta> as it loosk liek a couple of use are attacking it [01:22:28] <richlowe> Tpenta: the webrev of kupfers contains bits of your stuff too, though. [01:22:30] <twincest> robg: what is truncated? [01:22:33] <richlowe> Tpenta: that's fueling part of my confusion there. [01:22:39] <richlowe> Tpenta: (he has your src/Makefile bits, at least.) [01:22:42] <Tpenta> which parts? [01:22:45] <Tpenta> ahh [01:22:48] <stevel> yeah [01:22:57] <Tpenta> I am going to log a bug to fix Makefile later today [01:22:58] <stevel> he said his wad might be subsuming tpenta's bits [01:23:00] <Tpenta> and take it [01:23:01] <eboutilier> gisburn: Probably not, but he's one of the most prolific e-mailers I've ever seen -- including 1:1 e-mails. [01:23:07] <Tpenta> I'll let kupfer know [01:23:22] <Tpenta> actually, danek can review it and he can be rti advocate ;) [01:23:39] <gisburn> dduvall: ping! [01:24:02] <robg> twincest: __SUNPRO_C vs __SUNPRO_C_=0x580 [01:24:17] <dduvall> gisburn: pong [01:24:21] <gisburn> eboutilier: I am suffering from his emails already. [01:24:28] <twincest> robg: do you mean __SUNPRO_C or __SUNPRO_C_? i wasn't aware the compiler defined the latter [01:24:34] <gisburn> dduvall: did you follow the ksh93-integration discussion ? [01:24:40] <eboutilier> And now you want to IRC him too? :-) [01:24:45] <dduvall> On opensolaris-code? [01:24:45] <twincest> (my compile does not define __SUNPRO_C_) [01:24:58] <gisburn> dduvall: no, on ksh93-integration-discuss@ [01:25:07] <dduvall> No, I'm not subscribed. [01:25:14] *** gm152 has quit IRC [01:25:16] <alanc> even if carlson was on IRC, he probably wouldn't be here at 7:30pm (1930h) [01:25:23] <gisburn> dduvall: the discussion that perl build by OS/net runs as part of the build. [01:25:32] <robg> twincest: Sorry typo __SUNPRO_C vs __SUNPRO_C=0x580 [01:25:44] <twincest> robg: nothing is truncated there. the macro is called __SUNPRO_C and its value is 0x580 [01:25:58] <dduvall> gisburn: EPARSEFAILED [01:25:59] <Tpenta> stevel, is kupfer still around? [01:26:00] <gisburn> dduvall: would you consider this a "bug" ? [01:26:07] <stevel> tpenta: he's out sick today [01:26:09] <gisburn> Tpenta: kupfer is sick [01:26:18] <Tpenta> we already knew that, but is he around ;) [01:26:23] <twincest> robg: #if defined() and #ifdef test if a macro is defined, its value is irrelevant [01:26:30] <robg> twincest: Doh.. sorry my bad... new to the C thing [01:26:54] <Tpenta> thanks steve & rich. any idea how long he's out for? [01:26:59] <robg> twincest: But I did buy two C programming guides today [01:27:06] <gisburn> dduvall: James Carlson raised the objection that it is a bug that a binary build during the OS/Net build is actually called for doing more stuff. Both perl and ksh93 do that. [01:27:30] <dduvall> What does perl do during the build? [01:27:38] <gisburn> dduvall: generate charmaps etc. [01:27:44] * Tpenta hides as he did some stuff to perl for during the build [01:27:47] <gisburn> dduvall: and generate more perl code [01:28:02] <dduvall> And none of this is used to create installed objects? [01:28:15] <Error_404> dduvall: in my experience, what perl does during the build is "crap it's pants and die [01:28:22] <gisburn> dduvall: erm, the perl charmaps and other stuff are installed. [01:28:32] <dduvall> Then they need to be built. [01:28:41] <dduvall> Error_404: perl's a big scaredy-cat. [01:29:10] *** Gman has quit IRC [01:29:26] <gisburn> dduvall: would you accept the same for ksh93 ? Right now msgcc.sh is a ksh93 shell script to create the localisation catalogs for itself and all it's librearies. [01:29:33] *** robg has quit IRC [01:29:39] <Tpenta> dduval, if i log a bug and do the fix for having usr/src/Makefile look in the right place for non-debug encumbered bins, would you review it? (both kupfer an I appear to be using the same fix in different workspaces). This would vastly simplify non-debug open builds. [01:29:51] <gisburn> dduvall: read http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-November/001886.html [01:29:53] <dduvall> Tpenta: I'll take a look. [01:30:02] <Tpenta> i havent logged the bug yet ;) [01:30:27] <Tpenta> the fix is actually on my blog somewhere if you want to see it ;) [01:30:45] <gisburn> dduvall: and I am not happy with the idea to port a whole C preprocessor written in ksh93 to perl. [01:31:58] <dduvall> Why rely on ksh93 being in the CBE, and not just use the binary that's generated by the build? We don't support cross-compilation (yet?). [01:32:11] <Tpenta> danek, the diff is in here: http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta/entry/non_debug_opensolaris_build_49 [01:32:14] <gisburn> dduvall: CBE=? [01:32:19] <Tpenta> you have to scroll down a bit [01:32:37] <richlowe> gisburn: Common Build Environment [01:32:39] <dduvall> CBE=Common Build Environment -- what's assumed to be installed on the machine. [01:32:52] <gisburn> dduvall: right now I am doing that for the l10n stuff [01:33:02] <gisburn> dduvall: James Carlson is unhappy with that. [01:33:19] <gisburn> dduvall: it may theoretically break on libc flag days [01:33:24] <richlowe> He's primarily unhappy with you forcing LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a way that's near certain to lead to explosions. [01:33:35] <dduvall> Ah, I see. [01:33:36] <gisburn> dduvall: since LD_LIBRARY_PATH point to $ROOT [01:34:02] <dduvall> And you can't run the ksh93 in the workspace without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [01:34:10] <Tpenta> anyway danek, I'll log that bug in the next few hours [01:35:16] <gisburn> dduvall: we can do that in a few months, but right now the underlying workspace lacks the libraries. ksh93 in solaris is mainly contained in libraries, e.g libshell (ksh93 core), libcmd (builtin commands), libdll (linker support) and libast (utility library like libnspr) [01:35:39] *** hell` has joined #opensolaris [01:35:43] <gisburn> dduvall: we can use the system's ksh93 once all build machines have been updated. [01:35:59] <gisburn> dduvall: but I am oipposed to create a "flag day" because of this [01:36:16] <gisburn> (and force evefyone to install a statically build ksh93) [01:36:34] <dduvall> That's ugly, I agree. [01:36:43] <alanc> can you point to somewhere that has the ksh93 libraries but not libc? [01:37:16] <gisburn> dduvall: and we never had problems in the last nine months by any flag day. In fact the ksh93 binaries build in B48 work with Solaris 10 update 2 [01:37:20] <gisburn> alanc: ?! [01:37:36] <gisburn> alanc: you mean the idea with the temorary lib dir ? [01:37:49] *** Gman has joined #opensolaris [01:37:59] <alanc> set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a directory containing the ksh93 libraries created in the build, but not the libc created in the build [01:38:16] <alanc> I don't know if that's a temporary directory, the ksh93 build tree, or whatever [01:38:21] <hell`> i've got a netrat1 here that has 2 interfaces but only one comes up in solaris and in the OBP. anyone ever seen this? [01:38:24] <gisburn> alanc: yeah, I proposed that to kames carlson in one of my replies [01:38:40] <noyb> Tpenta: it may have happened that you missed my question during the recent flurry of conversations. It was about defining "encumbered bins." Can you shed light on that? [01:38:45] <alanc> I've tried to forget everything I ever knew about building ksh - working on the dtksh build was just too painful [01:39:09] <gisburn> alanc: we don't use mammake - don't worry. [01:39:15] <alanc> and the recent discussion of mysterious, unreproducible build failures reminded me of just how often the dtksh build does that [01:39:20] <Tpenta> i did miss it noyb, i'm just looking for it [01:39:36] <noyb> Tpenta: thanks! [01:39:46] <gisburn> alanc: that's the test suite. and right now it was a bug in ksh93 which happens only under stress. [01:40:06] <gisburn> alanc: so far the test suite still works [01:40:25] <gisburn> alanc: it's just that we didn't found all bugs in ksh93 yet... =:-) [01:41:01] <noyb> Tpenta: google returns interesting things with "solaris encumbered bins" sorry. [01:41:08] <Tpenta> noyb: the short answer is that the only way you can find out what is in there is by looking. Some of the licensing of the encumbered stuff prevents us disclosing why it is encumbered or who owns it, hence we take that policy for all of it's contents [01:41:13] <alanc> I doubt you ever will [01:42:08] <noyb> is there a ray of hope that one day... it will all be un-encumbered? [01:42:19] <gisburn> noyb: yep [01:42:31] *** eboutilier has quit IRC [01:42:38] <Tpenta> noyb, it is always getting smaller [01:42:43] <noyb> when the patents expire in 27 years or something? :) [01:42:52] <gisburn> noyb: or better: we get rid of most of the stuff there, either by disclosing them or replacing rotten stuff (e.g. ksh88 with ksh93) [01:43:06] <gisburn> noyb: (not speaking for sun) [01:43:14] <Tpenta> not necessarily anything to do with patents. patents are a subset of Intellectual property, they are not equivalent (see david berlind's writeup on this today) [01:43:23] <noyb> ah! So that's what all this ksh93 stuff is about lately? [01:43:38] <gisburn> noyb: yes and no. [01:43:38] <alanc> there was internal mail this week about another vendor allowing us to open source one of the closed drivers, so work is continuing there [01:43:50] <Tpenta> alanc: i must not be on that list [01:43:56] <noyb> so ksh is one of those EB's ? [01:44:04] <gisburn> noyb: ksh93 is just a complex theme. [01:44:07] <gisburn> noyb: ksh88 is. [01:44:16] <gisburn> noyb: ksh93 is opensource. [01:44:21] <alanc> gisburn: exactly, like getting rid of the encumbered/rotten Xsun and replacing it with Xorg 8-) [01:44:44] <gisburn> alanc: which reminds me to complain that the vmware driver in Xorg is still garbage in B51 [01:44:49] <noyb> ok, so there's probably a *lot* of work to verify/validate that ksh93 would be a proper replacement for ksh88 ? [01:45:02] <Auralis> apropos Xsun, is there any doc on how to define new display mods and what all the stuff in OWconfig means? [01:45:05] <gisburn> noyb: that's an understatement. [01:45:15] <alanc> it's whatever was in Xorg 6.9, with the one patch they asked us to add [01:45:25] <Error_404> goddamnit [01:45:26] <gisburn> noyb: right now we're bickering about the integration, not the migration of /usr/bin/ksh to ksh93 [01:45:29] <Error_404> it did it again: http://pastebin.com/829347 [01:45:48] <alanc> 7.2 will bring in the newer vmware driver - that's targeting nv_56 now [01:46:13] <alanc> Auralis: I think for most of the sparc video cards, defining new display modes is a matter of editing the source and rebuilding [01:46:33] <alanc> OWconfig is mostly undocumented [01:46:47] <Auralis> alanc: ugh [01:46:50] <dduvall> gisburn: I'm inclined to have the l10n stuff just not be enabled until a few builds go by after ksh93 is putback. L10N is something that is typically delayed until late in the release cycle, anyway, for reasons I don't entirely understand (probably because it's expensive, and you only want to do it once, after the code is settled down). [01:47:31] <noyb> I feel much more enlightened at the moment, even if we're only talking about ksh. [01:48:00] <gisburn> dduvall: what about the idea to put only the ksh93 libraries in a temp. dir and point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to it ? that would eliminate the libc flag day problem completely... [01:48:08] *** OnkelSchorsch has joined #opensolaris [01:48:19] <nachox> alanc, speaking of X and video, you have no idea when 945g cards will be supported right? :) [01:48:59] <alanc> nachox: maybe in nv_54 [01:49:20] <alanc> I believe that's when the agpgart for i945 goes in at least [01:49:23] <jamesd_> alanc and zfs / and looking glass is being included tomorow right ;-p [01:49:57] <nachox> really? wow, thanks :) [01:50:06] <alanc> except the Xorg side won't be in until nv_56, as mentioned a few lines ago [01:50:44] <alanc> and no clue about DRI support for it - I know there's an open RFE for that [01:50:50] <nachox> that beats my "it will never be supported" expectations [01:50:53] <alanc> and then we'll do it all again for i965 [01:51:37] <dduvall> gisburn: that's the best solution to get it working from the beginning that I can think of, but it's an ugly hack. [01:51:40] <alanc> nachox: an x86 OS that doesn't support intel, nvidia & ati graphics is worthless - everything else is gravy, but you need those 3 for 95% of the market [01:51:59] * nachox agrees [01:52:02] <gisburn> dduvall: well, it works right now [01:52:15] <twincest> alanc: do you believe that for audio as well? because i'd dearly love to get rid of OSS :-) [01:52:18] <dduvall> Ugly hacks can work; that's not the point. [01:52:30] <dduvall> And just setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is asking for trouble. [01:52:33] <alanc> so we'll pretty much always support those 3, though the hardware we sell (nvidia cards and ATI on-board chips) is always first priority [01:52:40] <gisburn> dduvall: it is just that there is the theoretical possbility that a libc flag day may cause trouble. [01:52:50] <alanc> twincest: absolutely not - I know nothing about audio driver availability [01:53:15] <dduvall> I'd be willing to entertain a solution that only runs the L10N targets' commands if ksh93 is on the system. [01:53:15] <gisburn> dduvall: any suggestions wheren I can place such a temporary directory for the libraries ? [01:53:44] <dduvall> This shouldn't affect a normal build, since a normal build wouldn't be doing any l10n stuff, anyway (much like people aren't required to build SUNW0on on a regular basis). [01:53:48] <hile_> dduvall, The only time I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I do so in a wrapper that calls env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/dir /my/executable [01:54:12] <nachox> alanc, i still shouldnt expect 3d acceleration to work for a while though, right? [01:54:14] <gisburn> dduvall: it would break "makebfu" as the l10n files are part of the package system [01:54:37] <dduvall> gisburn: they shouldn't be. [01:54:38] <gisburn> s/system/file list/ [01:55:01] <dduvall> L10N files should always be in separate packages. [01:55:15] <gisburn> dduvall: they are and have to be there as I've been told. [01:55:33] <dduvall> They are in separate packages already? [01:55:59] <gisburn> dduvall: no, they are part of the same package where csh and sh have their localisation stuff, too. [01:56:09] *** robg has joined #opensolaris [01:56:13] <alanc> nachox: for i945, that would be the DRI part I said I didn't know when it was coming [01:56:14] <dduvall> What's that package name? [01:56:17] <gisburn> dduvall: rainer orth is doing a more detailed package split [01:56:26] * gisburn looks [01:57:11] <gisburn> SUNW0on [01:57:20] <richlowe> SUNW0on isn't a 'real' package, exactly. [01:57:23] <dduvall> Ah. Well, then. [01:57:46] <dduvall> Like I said, SUNW0on isn't part of a normal build. [01:57:52] <gisburn> dduvall: but makebfu is [01:58:05] <dduvall> Yes .... [01:58:07] <richlowe> it's delivered to the localization folks, but nobody else, iirc. [01:58:53] <dduvall> richlowe: that's correct [01:59:12] <dduvall> I build it once a build, rather than every night. Nightly doesn't have any support for building it. [02:00:08] <gisburn> mhhh [02:00:13] *** peteh has quit IRC [02:00:47] <gisburn> dduvall: Ok... do you accept the lib(shell,cmd,dll/ast).so.1 libs in temp.dir solution ?

It's not going to impact anyone except those who build the SUNW0on package, which is basically just me. [02:06:44] <gisburn> dduvall: it will break the makebfu run and AFAIK many people who do kernel hacking use that... [02:06:55] <dduvall> Why will it break makebfu? [02:07:02] <gisburn> dduvall: missing files [02:07:28] <dduvall> Files in the proto area that aren't in the packages, or files in the packages that aren't in the proto area? Or something else? [02:07:42] <gisburn> dduvall: the 2nd problem. [02:08:03] <gisburn> dduvall: files described in the package are not available in the proto area [02:08:25] <gisburn> dduvall: next problem is how we can handle this for the solaris 10 backport [02:08:38] <gisburn> dduvall: the l10n files are mandatory for that putback. [02:08:56] <dduvall> You'll have to talk to the update gatekeepers about that. [02:09:08] <gisburn> erm [02:09:17] <gisburn> you have more than one gatekeeper group ? [02:09:39] <dduvall> Well, there's me for the marketing release, and then a team for the update releases. [02:10:07] <gisburn> where is the difference ?

[07:12:18] <boyd> dclarke: With LU you clone your OS and upgrade the clone... so you always have a fallback path... with ZFS you could disconnect them or snapshot, which is at least read-only [07:12:19] <Barry> As long as I'm not stuck with a 4K block size. [07:12:52] <boyd> Barry: Default for ufs is 8k with 1k fragments on files up to 96k.

[07:16:25] <jamesd> Barry, sorry zfs not equal rieserfs, zfs won't corrupt your data its designed to prevent it unlike reiserfs [07:16:36] <delewis> he's under the impression that filesystem reliability should be placed upon the hardware. [07:16:37] <boyd> Barry: ZFS has many other features... see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/ especially "demos" [07:17:42] <boyd> I like some of what Hans says about some new filesystem semantic models for Reiser4, but I'd prefer the reliability of ZFS [07:18:11] *** bobbyz has quit IRC [07:18:45] * jmcp thinks of reiserfs as "ricinfs" [07:18:46] <delewis> I think we all would :-) [07:18:56] <delewis> jmcp: nice [07:19:05] * jmcp muahahahaahas [07:25:09] * boyd hates freakin' websites that are so arrogant that they think the know what size my browser window should be better than me [07:26:16] <boyd> Anyone got a suggestion for a FF add-on that stops that crap?

[14:01:30] <leal> There is interest in make that features work on a linux brand?

At leasth then I would have my peace. [21:04:26] <timeless> whaq: i ignore slices and like zvolumes :) [21:04:58] <alanc> you seem so close to finishing with the current plan, seems like a big waste to reset now [21:05:21] <alhop> please - don't "reset" youve 95% of the way there....

Then I saw this IRC chat and came in for help [22:02:04] <Dragonfire1> Sites are having maintenance at sun that I see for Solaris 10 [22:02:31] <dlynes_laptop> Dragonfire1: You've only tried downloading it today? not previously? [22:02:55] <Dragonfire1> It may be the XP so I tried on the Linux sytem as well I think just bad luck. Doesn't want me to get sucked into another OS [22:03:18] <Dragonfire1> I have tried other times month ago I will keep trying in the weeks ahead [22:03:21] <dlynes_laptop> Dragonfire1: are you just wanting to install solaris on an intel box? [22:03:34] <dlynes_laptop> Dragonfire1: or are you wanting opensolaris, specifically?

Figured I would take out this Sun Micro Tower to get it going. [22:21:27] <dlynes_laptop> Dragonfire1: in my mind, opensolaris and solaris are the same thing, but other people have told me that's not the case [22:22:12] <dlynes_laptop> Dragonfire1: Some masochist was telling me the other day about all the fun he had installing Qnx 4.2 onto a Sparc :) [22:22:22] <Dragonfire1> No problem I will wait Have a long week ahead.
