However, it isn't integrated in to Solaris Nevada yet. I am assuming you mean: Openinstaller - what's out on opensolaris.org today that we build the Developer Preview with Caiman-SXDE that we deliver quarterly. The major differences from a functional point of view are: -ZFS is the root fs for the Openinstaller(Indiana). UFS is the root fs for Caiman. -Caiman is integrated in to SXDE -Caiman uses many of the old Solaris installer components to do the work. Openinstaller has all newly developed components. -The Openinstaller is only delivered in CD(liveCD) format. SXDE is delivered in DVD format only. -The Openinstaller uses the IPS pkg'ing system. The Caiman installer still uses the SVR4 pkg'ing that is in Solaris Nevada. -As I noted above, many of the Caiman installer components are used in the Openinstaller. These sources are open on opensolaris.org. Specifically the GUI, installer engine are open and are similar to Caiman. There are some differences. -The Openinstaller does not have Sun branding. Does this answer your question? thanks, sarah *** Girts Zeltins wrote: > Hello, > > What difference between Openinstaller and Caiman? > > Regards, > Girts > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > caiman-discuss mailing list > caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss > >
