Hi folks, I've a machine here (amd64 Ultra-20) installing opensolaris
(2008.11) over the network (pxe boot etc just fine).
However its now at about 2.5 hours now and its still pulling over bits from
the repo server.
The repo server is local (on the same subnet over a 100Mb link).
(its a full repo, not a mirror)
The machine can install nevada (using the SUNWCXall metacluster),
over network in about 50 minutes. Another identical U20 on the
same subnet managed to install within an hour the other day though.
Anyone seen this ?
More detail below.
Regards,
Sean.

I can see the auto-installer (and its pkg child) installing slim_install
