Hi Alok, Here are my comments: - I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the spec. Is this "bootable AI image" the same as the image used for installing over the network? I think it is, based on the content of the rest of the spec, but it would be better if it is clearly specified. - Will "bootable AI USB images" be created? For x86 it is fairly easy. What about for SPARC? - What about monitoring of the install progress. In AI today, the install will start "in the background", and users will be presented with the console, and they can login from the console and monitor the logs. What about with bootable AI? What's the experience like? How will the user monitor the install progress or detect errors? - Section 3.5: * depending on what it is done to re-work the live-fs-root script, there could be other changes to DC finalizer scripts besides changes that is needed to present the experience in Section 3.1 * DC currently doesn't make many bootable SPARC images, there need to be changes in the finalizer script(s) to do that. --Karen -
