Due to some changes planned in the way install images are built
for Solaris Nevada, we've been having an internal discussion this
week about whether it would be okay to drop CD images for the
future Nevada builds (which the community sees as Solaris Express:
Community Edition) and only have DVD images.
We've got some statistics which show downloaders seem to prefer
DVD images over CD at about a 2:1 ratio - but we don't know if those
downloading CD images could use DVD images instead.
The internal discussion thus has been based mostly on our assumptions
about who the community members are and what hardware they have, but
no one has yet asked the community.
Would you have a problem with DVD-only images for SX:CE? Do you have
systems you use for OpenSolaris that don't have DVD drives and that
you can't netinstall from another system or Live Upgrade from a mounted
image?
