This is something we need to discuss; and what alternatives there might
be.....
Driving upward the installer footprint, requiring "live" upgrade and
other current plans run, I think, contrary to the goal of increasing the
developer base.
Question we can ask ourselves as community are:
- Can OpenSolaris distributions fill the "low-end" void?
- Would a single CD installer image which can point to an (Internet)
based server fill the need of the "DVD have-nots"?
- Is live upgrade really something we should force?
- If the latter, is "live fresh install" ability then a requirement?
What is required of Sun in this space? What can the community do?
