Re: [orca-list] OpenSolaris and Virtualization

["E.J. Zufelt" <everett zufelt ca>]

Good morning Will,

Thanks for the URL.  It's always helpful to know what the problems are  
going to be up front when I have to get someone else to do something  
like this for me.

It's really a shame that there is no way for a blind user to install  
OpenSolaris as a virtual machine without assistance, but I understand  
that the problem lies with the audio support and the redistrubility of  
audio drivers.

Thanks again,
Everett
