An option that I believe that it has not been considered in the news

called NetBSD pkgsrc.

As for the GPL requirement, I assume you refer to the debian based
distro. It seems, they want to have a debian-style distro, and pkgsrc
won't help them in any way.
As for why not using pkgsrc, there

This was true before /devices was on the devfs filesystem.
But having /usr ready helps a lot.
It is no fun,
I thought I should note that the packaging tools and also make(1S)
and sccs(1) have been released as redistributable binaries:

Discussion of specific issues will be in [EMAIL
Is there a way to crypt/decrypt a folder by using the opensolaris crypto
service? (i'm talking about some crypt/decrypt system based on a symmetrical
key provided by the user at mount time)

Ethernet adapters are availalbe that plug directly into an external USB port,
just like a camara or other consumer product.
Does Solaris 10 or Opensolaris support such cards? The nic on the integrated
chipset (nforce4) of my system is not suppport by either.

Scott,
I think /usr/X11 and missing xconfigure should be considered as a
packaging bug or not-yet implemented feature.
Nexenta Xorg should support 3td party drivers like recent Nvidia
additions, etc. This could be easily entered as a feature request in NBTS.
And someone will address it sooner or

I got a similar problem. I guess you installed grub which is not able to find
boot_archive.
For me adding the following entry in menu.lst, for Solaris entry, resolved the
issue.
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
