Sort of. If you want a project, then this is fine. If you want a community, then I would suggest talking with the Appliance community, since they appear to overlap. (General discussions of cross-compilation is suitable for either of opensolaris-code or tools-discuss; potential platforms probably should start talking here; there are communities and projects associated with installation and packaging already.) - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
