Hi All,

As part of creating some prototypes of Virtual Appliances on OpenSolaris 200811 
I am  working on 
reducing standards GUI based OpenSolaris into something smaller (Building 
sort of OpenSolaris JeOS).

Yes, In future we want to use officila ways as they evolve like "Distro 
Constructor" and/or "Automated Installer" for OpenSolaris JeOS creation, 
but for now we need to understand how select and prove set of packages for 
OpenSolaris JeOS and get deeper sense of underlying principles.

For this I need to better understand role of "virtual" packages entire and 
slim-install in OS distro live cycle.

1. What is the purpose of entire package ?

2. What is different between in this virtual packages types: entire and 
slim_install ?

3. Do I need to have entire in installed system or for to have pkg image-update 
funstional ?

4. If entire like package is needed, how I can create it from my pkg list and 
how to publish it in my IPS repo ?

Nice day
Rudolf Kutina
