Hi Aubrey,
1) If you add the CSW sources [1] you can install the csw mercurial.
Beyond that, if you compile hg from ubuntu sources you can submit the
buildable source via "dput" for inclusion into the Nexenta repository.
2) This can be downloaded from the opensolaris website. Again,
patches/packages are welcome.
3) There is a csw version of csope available.
4) "screen" is a good replacement and works on more than just the
console.
5) Erast might have a more definitive answer, I would imagine this
is the base system requirements + approximate size of Nexenta Installer
footprint?
If you truly intend to develop on OpenSolaris then I would recommend a
lot more than 384MB RAM. ZFS is memory hungry and according to [2] you
should have at least 1GB memory for ZFS filesystems.
Thanks,
-Tim
