MilaX
The OpenSolaris Small Live CD

MilaX 0.3

Changes: this release is based on Nevada 85 and includes 99% of b85-drivers, Gtk-Terminal, Netsurf, gFtp, Sylpheed, and gPicview. Beaver, Torsmo, and fbxkb were added, and Dillo and aterm were removed. ZFSinstall is now included. /sbin/sh was changed to ksh93.


Torsmo and Conky monitors

I’ve written a number of kstat-functions for Torsmo monitor and now it successfully works on Solaris with lightweight window managers. Pradhap Devarajan has prepared a SFEtorsmo.spec and now you can make a package independently.

2008-05-18: Conky-1.5.1 now partially ported.

You can find SFEtorsmo.spec and SFEconky.spec on SFE repository.
OpenSolaris conky pkg available inĀ  jucr.opensolaris.org/pending.


ZFS installation

First of all you need a free Primary Partition. For ZFS installation run "zfsinstall" script as root. For example, if you have Solaris partition on c1d0s0, run this command to install MilaX with zfs-boot:
(root@milax)# zfsinstall c1d0s0
If you’ll see an error messages when the amd64 boot_archive created, do not worry about it.
Sample result:

Some notes:
1. The script can only handle already sliced disks (fdisk must be done for the disk before calling the script).
2. You need at least 256 MB RAM for ZFS-installation.

Any additions and changes are accepted.
