The first set of output is from the first session when I was asked about telemetry. The 2nd seems to relate to "getting into yahoo mail and trying to send a message." The part in quotes above was all typed without echo.<br>

Typing more than a few words is very problematic.<br>

The release notes asserted that one could install versions of OI in parallel. Having successfully installed 151_a8 in the first 1/2 of the disk I tried installing Hipster in the 2nd half. This was *not* good for 1515_a8.. The install seemed to go normally, but when I tried to log in, 2017.10 would not accept my password. I moved the drive over to another 2017.10 instance on a z400 and cleared the passwords from /etc/shadow. After that the 2017.10 instance would not boot.<br>
<br>
I had intended to use the 2nd half of the disk to mirror the first half as protection against media failures. However, ti appears that it is not possible access the 2nd MSDOS partition. I used the text installer for all installs. The typing latency is running to over a minute at times. <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

The text installer would *not* allow me to have two Solaris partitions.<br>
<br>
Having discovered that the latency is because 2 GB is not enough memory, I'm not sure any of this matters.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Firefox has become a slow hippo even on my Core i5-3230 based Debian laptop ... unfortunately is seems an inevitable trend ...<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
