Well I finished the Crysis demo and lets just say it’s feaking awesome. It plays ok on my current system with all the settings turned to low, but it’s definitely cause for an upgrade.

What I liked most was that there was so many ways you can accomplish a particular objective. If sneaking in to a compound from one direction doesn’t provide enough cover, just try it from another angle; or use strength mode and jump right over everyone. The game allows you to follow the story line but in your very own way.

Almost there: November 16.

So it’s National Blog Posting Month and I guess I’m gonna give it a shot. Here’s to day 1!

“To create an ISO image in OS X, use Disk Utility to burn a new image choosing CD/DVD Master as the Image Format. That creates an image with the cdr extension. Just rename the cdr file extension to iso and there you have it!”

“If you already have a DMG and want to convert it to an ISO, you can use hdiutil to do so:”

$ hdiutil convert discimage.dmg -format UDTO -o output.iso

Found it here.

First map the .iso file to a device:

# lofiadm -a /path/to/image.iso /dev/lofi/1

Note: You can mount more images by incrementing the lofi device number (/dev/lofi/2).

Now just mount it like a file system:

# mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/image

The ISO file should now be mounted at /mnt/image

Spent forever looking for this:

# /var/sadm/prod/entsys/SUNWentsys4/uninstall


So I know there is ample documentation on this in the Sun docs but if you’ve ever tried to read Sun docs then you know that someone giving an example is much easier to understand. The goal will be to create a container in the fewest number of steps. This should work on any release of Solaris 10 but I will be using u3. Read the rest of this entry »

In this scenario I am using a fresh install of Solaris 10 u3. There are two network interfaces configured: vfe0 is the “external” interface as it connects directly to the cable modem and gets it’s IP via DHCP; rtls0 is the “internal” interface as it connects to a local network switch along with other computers on the network. Use routeadm to enable IP Forwarding & IP Routing at the system level: Read the rest of this entry »
