page 8, SPARC and x86 differences: the first bullet seems unnecessary to have here, as I wouldn't expect to have many (any?) readers of this content who haven't already installed OpenSolaris. In the second bullet (and generally), remove the "bootroot" term, as we've removed that from the scripts and manifests. page 10, table 2-1: The release requirement is actually tighter than this implies. In order to be assured of building correct images based on any particular build's set of packages, you must run exactly that build. Other cases *may* work, but are not guaranteed to. Additionally, the Note here basically repeats the content I noted above as likely being unnecessary in this guide. Also, don't see why SUNWdistro-const is italicized in the example at the end of the table. page 12, table 2-4: Many of the script names have changed, especially those with the deprecated "bootroot" term. page 13, item 3: We must not recommend users installing their own scripts in /usr/share/distro_const, as that directory (and it's subs) is reserved for our implementation of the product. Placing them in their own home directory, /usr/local, or other locations that are not part of the OpenSolaris product is fine. page 19: alignment error in slim-im-mod checkpoint output at top of page page 20, Note: Suggest "manifest argument" rather than "manifest field" since it's a command-line construct. page 25: "VirtualBox" is the correct product name.
