Okay. I guess folks using nautilus or something aren't likely to have much trouble with it at all, short of perhaps not being able to fit the single image on a single disk. >>>> 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.

In which case you'll want to state clearly that these instructions only apply to OpenSolaris. > mirror here is referring to the usage of the depot server they are setting > up based on client configuration, not pkg.opensolaris.org/dev. > > So, why would I drop mirror? Because your first suggestion is that they set up their clients to point to their depot as an origin, in which case it's not being used as a mirror. If you have the word "mirror" in the description merely because it *can* be used as a mirror, then I would argue that the same applies to the /dev repo, and that seems silly to me.
