Re: [orca-list] open solaris

["Christian" <christian08 runbox com>]

Hi,
I have also tried running Opensolaris but the problem is that my soundcard, which is a Realtek is not supported so I am not able to install it.
I would really be interested in trying this out, but I am not able to.
I also hope that more sound cards will be supported.
Best regards,
Christian
