I don't understand why X is a priority. You provide fluxbox as a window manager 
instead of a full desktop like GNOME, KDE, or XFCE. You don't provide GUI web 
browsers like Firefox and Konqueror, email apps like Thunderbird and Evolution, 
or any of the other software that's included in (or pre-packaged for) a typical 
Linux or BSD distro. Other than running those programs over X from a different 
machine, I fail to see what users are supposed to do with your X packages. If 
users are skilled enough to build the applications they want from source, they 
ought to be able to build Xorg too. By the time you release 0.3, GNUSolaris 
will be providing a complete desktop with GNOME, Firefox, GAIM, Evolution, etc.

The problem I was referring to with that poorly phrased sentence is that the 
version number in /boot/grub/menu.lst.sample hasn't been updated. It won't 
prevent anything from working, but it should be fixed nevertheless.
