Jason, you are welcome. > > I have filed a bug to track it and there are some binaries we needs. > 6193 <http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6193>. Thanks for filing this bug. As bug 5644 is fixed for now, Target Discovery and Target Instantiation test drivers are now built during full build of slim_source gate and SUNWinstall-test package was created for delivering them to the target system. Also I have filed bug 6224 for integrating that new package into IPS repository. The bug you have filed will continue to be used for tracking delivery of other requested test drivers to that package. Thank you, Jan
