These numbers can be somewhat deceiving, as the second to the most recent release of iiim (as included in RC1) is only a bare bone version which has jettisoned all the input and keyboard options. In previous versions, the differences were substantially worse. I understand that it is important to cut these options to make iiim less unstable and for better performance and to save space, but this also makes the OpenSolaris LiveCD, at least for most traditional Chinese users who do not have, or don't know how to use a bopomofo keyboard, practically unusable. (Of course, we can always install SCIM ...) I used to think that at least iiim has the advantage of having the on-screen virtual keyboard. But this is gone, too. Also, when I hit the "help" button, the machine would freeze for about 20 seconds, then nothing came out. Perhaps we should rename the OpenSolaris version of iiim to apatch-iiim, but my main concern is, we may not have the right resources to keep patching it. :-( -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
