[ug-bosug] a few questions...

[Ananth A]

Hi Moinak (and others!),

its great to hear the project is going forward steadily!! :=)

i have recently managed to get the Belenix 0.4.3 installed last
weekend and i have a few questions...

- is there a normal installation planned ?? or will it always be
installation from a live cd ??

- what kind of package management system do you plan to have ???
ports, debs, rpms, custom builds ???

- there are a few minor quirks while using the solaris enviroment,
especially since i am more familiar with the linux env... for eg,
there is just a single console terminal etc... so i want to ask if it
is possible to run just the solaris kernel and repalce everything else
based on the linux environment ??

- another surprising thing was that there was no man pages.... i guess
its cuz of licencing issues that its not yet available... do you have
any updates on the same?

-how do i mount a fat32 partition ????? a search on google gave me the command
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0 /winc
but i got an error message about not able to find the filesystem type..

checking in the /etc directory, i found that only ufs, zfs, hpfs have
the mount programs but none for fat{16,32}  ... nor for ntfs, ext2,
reiser or bsd ufs2!!

the only workaround solution was to burn a cd everytime i wanted to
transfer files to belenix... is there an easier way to do this ????
