[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sun Ray versions on OI

[Rainer Heilke]

Thank you very much for the complete directions.

I never had a problem under any install of OpenSolaris  that I can 
recall, but under OI, it installed without errors but the Sun Rays 
wouldn't come up. Your email suggests a couple reasons to me as to why. 
I'll reinstall OI in the next week and try your instructions. Thanks!

BTW, there's a newer version of SRSS,  but like 4.2 it has not been made 
to work with Solaris 11. Neither has any version of Sun Studio for that 
matter, including the new beta. Oracle has made every release of 11 a 
moving target, much more so than OpenSolaris under Sun ever was.

Once again, thank you very much,
Rainer
