Hmm, would be easier to have a list of features that will be implemented / will not be implemented (even if the list changes every other day) instead of searching defect.opensolaris.org. > And by observing the caiman-discuss list, you'll see development > activity occurring to solve at least some of them in the near future.

That's not what I need: But the new installer should at least support the features jumpstart supports to be usable in a production environment. My point here is that a lot of shops with automatic installation procedures implemented a solution based on jumpstart. That means: less compability to jumpstart --> more work to do for the users to integrate the new installer. And more things to learn for the user using the new installer. Not everything is bad only because it's there since 15 or more years. regards Bernd -- Bernd Schemmer, Frankfurt am Main, Germany http://bnsmb.de/ M s temprano que tarde el mundo cambiar .
