That's great for those of us in a networked, enterprise environment. For Joe R. User installing on his home PC, that's not really an option. > I have systems installing roughly 4.3GB of data in > less than 20 minutes, from start to finish using > Flash(TM) flar archives and NFS. I've built literally hundreds of systems in a day, thanks to a good JS environment with flars and automation. But that requires another machine to act as host and some pretty advanced skills, not something the home user is going to have. There's a lot of room for improvement in the package based install, whether it is CD based, DVD based, or even network based (without flash). Probably one of the best improvements would be changing the /var/sadm/install/contents file to a database. -spp This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
