I have already done so, did you not read what I wrote? That layout does not consider OpenSolaris target audience at all. Your target audience knows nothing of LU, and they're stomped with the concept of slices inside of a BIOS partition. And: that layout wastes 15GB of space for something that in most cases will never be used! LU is for sysadmins, not end users. In case it slipped "through the cracks", most people are afraid of the CLI and have difficulty using it. And even if there was a GUI, the concept of LU is so "off the wall", your end users would be stomped anyway. Finally, any good sysadmin will know about LU, and will know how to slice up the disk in just about any way imaginable. That audience definitely does not need presliced and preinstalled systems, becase they will know what they want and "one size fits all" factory layout certainly won't work! In other words: it's a perfect example of vendor believing that he knows what his customers want, and at the same time not listening to his customers. This message posted from opensolaris.org
