All I meant by that was: If it only installs onto existing solaris partitions and whole disks, that cuts out basically everyone in the linux and windows world... except for VM users, which is a pretty big and growing group. Existing solaris desktop users are a rounding error when compared to those large groups, so I left them out of the generalization. IMHO all an Indiana proof of concept needs to do is A) install itself and B) be able to update itself. If people can install Indiana October and then follow development all the way to conclusion just by updating the same distro every time with IPS, Mission Accomplished :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
