Notes for Solaris 10 Installfest
  • Try to arrive early. We will be set up by 4:30 pm.
  • Bring a laptop with at least 5 GB of space available.
  • The laptop should have a network interface.
  • Ideally, create a primary partition labeled as "linux swap."
  • If you have an existing windows partition, and want to dual-boot, please defragment your windows partition before the installfest
  • If you have a laptop that has an existing OS that you want to keep, we will have a recovery/partitioning CD available that will allow you to shrink the existing environment. That being said - be aware that there is a slight chance that unrecoverable events do occur making the existing OS non-bootable... Basically if it is mission critical to you, make sure you have a back up.
  • We will be using a jumpstart server with the latest Solaris 10- X86 "Solaris Express" build available. We will have a network setup ready to plug-in (no cables needed).
