Sounds reasonable to me.
The most consistent feedback (ok, vats of vitriol) that
I get about the OpenSolaris download process is two-fold:
1) why is there no link to the solitary sparc or x86
dvd iso image? People *really* hate having to start
5 or 6 separate downloads when they have the connection
to sustain a single iso download.
As a quick fix suggestion the SUN Download Manager can be
enhanced to start >1 download streams in parallel for the file
segments, unzip and subsequently join them together (and
also verify the checksums).
This should ease the hate factor.
Regards,
Moinak.
2) why don't Sun provide a torrent?
I believe I know some of the answers/reasons for (2), but
it would be *really good* if they could be spelt out on the
dlc.sun.com site as well as sun.com/downloads.
cheers,
James C. McPherson
