That Live CD got me going, Thanks
The network works.

Is there a program I can install to be able to read/write
ext2, ext3 & NTFS partitions? I just don't understand why
they wouldn't include a way to read other file systems
besides fat32. And I noticed that the live CD can't read
the solaris partition, so if the computer ever crashes I
guess everything is lost.

Otherwise it seems to be a good operating system.

Thanks again

I don't recall that I did. I installed opensolaris on the
partition that solaris 10 was on so I won't be working with
solaris 10 again for quite a while.

Thanks

Because MS don't give out the info to allow it. And IIRC to back engineer
could lead to legal proceedings. Maybe Oracle will have the weight to
make some changes ?

Maybe this might work:

MS has nothing to do with ext2/ext3 AFAIK.

AFAIK it can. Have a look here:

I was responding to the NTFS, hence the MS reference.

TBH, I don't care about any non-Solaris file systems.
