No. I'm asking for more information about how he's configured his system. Without knowing what hardware is in the box, and what extra tunables, and configuration options he has set, there's no way for me to reproduce any of the experiments that he has performed. > You're claiming you can install "entire" using pkg in 7 minutes, that, I > think requires more explanation.

No. I said that I can install entire, SUNWcs & SUNWcsd, and babel_install in under 7 minutes using pkg(5) on the latest OpenSolaris build. > You see, we want *more* CPU and *more* memory because we want to do > *more* things with the hardware; not to do effectively the same thing less > efficiently. Perhaps you should take the time to educate yourself about this project. Our goals are substantially more ambitious than replicating the functionality of SysV packaging. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
