Hi Fellow Caimaniacs(aka 'Slimmers'), There is a new, and improved AI(automated installer) prototype image available. Only 512M memory required!
I have just posted a new AI prototype. This one requires only 512M of memory, and utilizes NFS for the remote archives it needs to mount. This image is located at: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/install/downloads/ai_prototype/indiana_nfs.cpio.gz It takes less time, on average, to install this image. This image does provide all the packages that currently comprise the OpenSolaris liveCD so when completed it will boot to a Gnome desktop. It does not contain any language packages. Give this one a whirl and let us know what you think. Regards, AI Team
