You will only see it if you do fresh install, i.e. skip ISO upgrade. Upgrades of "minimal" profile installation are not supported yet... But we are hoping to have LiveUpgrade working soon, so it will take care of Internet-based upgrades from b36 => b37 for instance, without downloading ISO and going through the installation program, all user will need to do is "apt-get dist-upgrade". > So in theory, one could install the stripped down version, then add, > say, the same set of packages in DSL (damn small linux, which is also > Debian based) and essentially have a version of DSL that has a SunOS > 5.11 kernel...

It allows NexentaOS to be customized on per-user requirements. > Eric > > > >>Also, you didn't mention the CPU.
