Thanks for the revised list. I have a few more comments after
reviewing this.
The following packages seem to be missing
SUNWgnome-media-mp3 GStreamer MP3 audio decoder plugin
SUNWinstall-patch-utils-root Install and Patch Utilities (root)
If we're going to include SUNWswmt in order to allow
presumedly patches to unbundled products, then we might
was well include this package too.
SUNWafe
SUNWmxfe
These network drivers came into snv_73.
Are the following packages actually necessary?
SUNWxorg-headers X.Org Foundation X11 client headers
SUNWcdrw utility for writing to CD-R/RW and DVD{+-}R/RW disks
Perhaps I'm not thinking imaginatively enough with this
package :-) but if there's a use case for this being on
the Live/Install CD, then we should probably also
include SUNWdvdrw as well.
