Hoy crap man!!! I never thought of sticking a USB stick in to my computer while it was running on the Indiana 2008.05 Live CD. That is truly awesome. I'm so used to doing everything ZFS, SMF and IPS related in "unix wizard" mode at the command line that I thought I was going to have wait for the planets to come back into alignment so that I could put on my black cloak and drop down to the shell again to type in several few pages of magical unix incantations under a full moon to conjur up the enchanted ZFS daemons from the UNIX kernel netherworld and then throw my USB stick into the boiling cauldron to boil and bake along with some "Eye of Newt" and "Toe of Frogge" and "Wool of Bat" and "Tongue of Dogge", etc. and then after a giant explosion and a huge cloud of smoke, OpenSolaris 2008.05 would be installed on the USB stick.... But I guess your way works too ;-)
Kudos to the OpenSolaris GUI programmer team for implementing that. Indiana might not be as easy to use as Mac OS X just yet, but we are definitely heading off in a more user-friendly direction. I also concur with your opinions about OpenSolaris being ****_THE_CHOSEN_ONE_****. Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows might have all the cool software coming out first on their platforms (and then being ported over to us much later if at all) but all that won't matter once I can run Linux, *BSD, OS X and MS Windoze inside Solaris , then not only will I have the whole world of software available at my fingertips, but I'll also have the incredibility scalability of Solaris, which easily matches that of AIX and HP-UX. This is going to be awesome!!! Things are going to be really good for us in a year or two as long as we stay the course and keep moving in the same direction that we're already headed. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
