Dear core developers of Opensolaris,
I would like to ask You, if is it possible to use Opensolaris on one
harddrive also with Windows XP? If The partitions are divided as follows:
Windows XP is installed on one NTFS partition for example, on The first 25
GB of disk space, while harddisk is having 55 GB capacity.
Opensolaris would be installed at The second unallocated space of this
harddrive, while this unallocated space will be created by using Gparted
tool, and on this unallocated space, which would have also 25 GB opensolaris
would be installed.
Is it possible, or I must use supported procedures in The installation
program, and The installer do not support to copy data to unallocated
spaces?
Next question.
Is it possible to boot to Windows XP or Opensolaris after install
Opensolaris? Or I will able to boot at The lastly installed operating
system, or only to Windows XP? If it will be fact, would You try to add
bootmanager to Your distro? If there is possibility allready to boot to
multiple operating systems, in my case to Windows XP or Opensolaris, please
tell Me The procedure, I Am visually impaired user with no sight.
Thank You very much for your ansver.
The kindness regards.
