[OpenIndiana-discuss] Add Gnome to server install

[Rainer Heilke]

Greetings.

After spending most of the day trying to get the OI 151a8 (LiveCD 
Desktop) install to boot up with fixed IP addresses, I finally gave up. 
The wiki is very outdated, and self-contradictory. So I googled, and 
still nothing. And network-admin doesn't run without NWAM enabled. (This 
system is a small home running DNS, Mediatomb, and storage shares.and 
with NWAM, I have to log in to fire up the network interfaces.) But it 
also acts occasionally as one of my desktops. So, since a fresh install 
of 151a8 Desktop cannot be made into a server, I installed the server 
version.

The server version, however, is text only (of course). No Gnome. So, how 
can I add it?

Note that DNS seems a bit borked. I can
'ping 91.194.74.133
I can
'dig pkg.openindiana.org'
but I cannot
'ping pkg.openindiana.org'
getting an "unknown host" error. (??) So 'pkg refresh --full' always fails.

I suspect this will be the last time I install fresh, rather than doing 
an upgrade. :-(

Rainer
