Everything true. But what's your point? You want to kill Gnome an X and want Sun to drop them? Isn't RHEL a successful server OS? Did they get to that point by neglecting or even dropping the Desktop? On the SPARC end you can see, that Sun is directly doing what you suggest. With Xsun being EOL'ed only a very limited number of frame buffers is supported now. There is no SPARC-LiveCD. And there will never be one that has a GUI caiman installer like shipping on x86. They work on a project that has the text installer which will be usable via serial. So which precise steps do you now suggest? _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
