I have two OI boxes, one is old (dates back to OS 90 or something ... 5 years or so and has been updated many, many times through pkg image-updates) and the other was built with OI 151a7 a few months ago. The "old" one displayed the same problem you describe, the "new" one was fine. I had made the new one a hipster version in the mean time though, and then pulled it back to 151a8 dev release three days ago. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
