Hi all,

So fay by my understanding, Indiana can only support adding package from IPS. 
not any local package mechanism be supported. Thus i have three concerns 
related to driver issue:

(1) Since there will be thousands of applications/drivers packages on the IPS, 
how can the user know which package is a hardware driver especially which 
chipset it intent to drive? will Indiana release some documents to dress a 
driver package with its specfic hardware chipset. 

(2) How to handle 3rd party driver, if Indiana does not support SUNW package 
format, do we expect 3rd party vendor will transfer their SUNW driver package 
to new IPS format and building their own IPS server?

(3)If Iniana user boot system and find no network driver, the first solution 
he/she will do is install network driver so can try other feature. But if 
Indiana can not support installing local package file, how to handle this 
scenario?

Plese correct me if my understanding is wrong
