That I can't answer for you. Maybe it's borrowed from Redhat? I think the general trend has been away from huge packages like SUNWcsu, even in ON, but I'm not sure what the current level of granularity buys you for GNOME. I probably see more like a dozen packages, but certainly some consolidation in the application arena would make sense to me. Fine-grained granularity is nice, though, if you've got a decent way of managing all that and you're a particularly anal, micromanaging sysadmin. :) Danek _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
