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? >> line 90: <data_source> would be "/destination" from the examples in >> sections 2.1 and 2.2? > > I used <data_source> since /destination only applies if you copied it > somewhere.

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 it isn't running OpenSolaris, there's a good chance the mount > instructions won't work either. > > If they are running OpenSolaris, pfexec is setup by default, and only > wouldn't be if they had changed configuration. 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. >>> http://cr.opensolaris.org/~swalker/cfg_cache >> >> line 7: since the README primarily suggests setting the depot up as an >> origin server, calling it a mirror here doesn't seem right.

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.
