Doing a Mobile Install of OpenSolaris and VirtualBox on a Laptop
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Engineer Shares Experience, Offers Advice
In a blog that deals with Windows, OpenSolaris and VirtualBox, Sun engineer Alan Hargreaves recounts his experience with loading VirtualBox and a release candidate ISO of OpenSolaris 2009.06 on his laptop. He also used the exclusive-to-Sun-employees test tool punchin. His first caution is not to attempt this install with a mere 512MB memory since the laptop shows the installation as apparently successful when it is not in fact.
