I know that Solaris uses Solstice DiskSuite or some type of volume management where you are able to reboot to a particular partition through command-line instead of manual reboot. So whith that said, my goal is to create multiple slices (FreeBSD, Linux 6.x, Linux 7.x, etc ...) where I could ssh into a node to be able to reboot into another partition based on my work environment. This would be useful due to working remotely with different environments. Thanks --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.
