>From the top: Why physical media? Why not network boot? It shouldn't really matter how the system boots. Media contains pkgs - does this mean packages, or is this a LiveCD-style copy the image? Screens: there are some things missing - Escape to shell - Disk mirroring and zfs property customization - Package selection - Nameservice configuration The use of "screens" is slightly worrying, as it makes me think of the extremely clumsy interaction model of the current Solaris installer; I'm hoping this really means a more streamlined and fluid user experience. In fact, it's not clear why any of the items deferred to subsequent phases should be. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
