The omnios installer itself has a log, do you cross your fingers when you use it? I really don't think you can correlate "something creates a log you can look at in case something goes wrong" with "something is likely to go wrong". I haven't had any problems with it, but if somebody doesn't like how it works out for them, they're more than welcome to a full refund ;). > understand that this is more flexible than just running stuff in a > screen, but if you were willing to go to such lengths to create this > script, what's the problem with fixing the installer to simply prompt > for some of these options in the first place? I think you overestimate considerably how much time I put into whipping up this little workaround. I can't imagine it took more than 30 minutes all told. Good luck reengineering the text based installer in that timeframe 8-/. Dunno, it scratched my itch, I know of at least a couple of other people it worked out for, and if somebody gets a good chuckle out of making fun of it, I suppose that's better than nothing. _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
