You're claiming you can install "entire" using pkg in 7 minutes, that, I
think requires more explanation. (E.g, SXCE is 2.6GB *compressed*,
that takes 3.5 minutes *alone* to download and running pk7zip takes
many more than 7 minutes.)
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.
And perhaps the disagreement with Casper here is because while it's
obvious to you that "entire" is simply a list of package versions,
to those not familiar with IPS, it sounds like you're claiming to
install the entire WOS image, which it absolutely isn't doing.
To compare to SXCE install times, "redistributable" would be closer,
but you're still missing a couple hundred megs of StarOffice, CDE,
and other bits in SXCE but not IPS.
