For about a week or so I have been totally frustrated in trying to get a Solaris 10 to run on my VMWare (on Windows XP) community edition server so that I can connect to the virtual server using putty and ftp.
Why you may ask. The answer is simple. It gives me a private development environment that I can mess with without causing high blood pressure to others on the team.
The main hurdle came in getting the right combination and online guides (which were aplenty) on Solaris and Oracle 10g on Solaris installations did not give this crucial piece of information. Imagine when I found the solution (took < 60 seconds to implement) how overjoyed I might have been!
More on the solution in the next post. Sorry to end like a typical Hindi soap opera.
