I don't care too much; it just seemed like you put a lot of effort into
helping people put the images on flash media, but after having mentioned a
DVD, said nothing about cdrw or cdrecord, or the use of double-sided or
double-layered DVDs that might actually hold the whole thing, etc.  I don't
know that putting this stuff on a DVD makes much sense, but then why
mention it at all?

Right.  I just think there should be a more explicit link, since otherwise
it seems like you're either just randomly changing from /destination to
<data_source> or that it would not be correct to simply use /destination if
you'd been following the example.

If they're running S10 or SXCE, the basic commands will work, but pfexec
won't be set up appropriately.  And if someone is setting up OpenSolaris on
their internal network for the first time, they might be running these
other OSes, but not have an OpenSolaris system yet.

I'd just drop "Mirror" entirely -- pkg.opensolaris.org/dev can be either an
origin or a mirror, but presumably we don't call it a mirror by default.
