Hi Devi,

  X11 with auto-configuration can be added without much trouble
since all the required pieces are already present in BeleniX and can
be re-used in any OpenSolaris distro -

* The Xorg 6.9 sources with an appropirate host.def for compiling
  with gcc downloadable from sarovar.org .
* The DDC query utility (ddcxinfo-belenix) for fetching monitor
  EDID information also downloadable as source from sarovar.org.
* The Perl script /usr/bin/fix.pl to perform post-configuration.
* The /lib/svc/method/xserver script and the associated XML file
  having the SMF service manifest. This script will require some
  tweaking.

However GNOME is a different story. A CDROM (700MB) just
does not have enough space to accommodate GNOME and applications.

I have just finished enhancing the lofi kernel module to add support
for transparent decompression. So all of /usr can be stored in a specially
formatted compressed file - using Zlib. This will allow packing in
almost 1.8 GB of stuff in one CD and will allow things like KDE,
Gnome, OpenOffice etc.  In addition it improves performance.

I am currently testing the module. On preliminary testing I have
found that bootup to the Xfce desktop takes less than 3 minutes
where on the same hardware it earlier used to take more than 7
minutes. Firefox 1.5 starts up in less than 30 seconds where earlier
it used to take more than 2 minutes.

This will benefit all OpenSolaris distros putting out LiveCDs.

Regards,
Moinak.
