I'd suggest subscribing to indiana-discuss at opensolaris.org. That's where the release announcements about new development builds are posted. Case in point: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/indiana-discuss/2008-October/012918.html That message mentions that the primary languages iso needs to be burned to dvd. And again, this is a temporary issue. The final release of 2008.11 should fit on a single CD, we just haven't finished trimming yet. > It's too bad OpenSolaris 2008 05 and 2008 11 do not boot in Sun's > Virtual Box. Can you be more descriptive? I (and many many others) boot 2008.05 and 2008.11 in VirtualBox 1.6.6 and 2.0.2 each and every day many times. -- Glenn
