Hi,

Please review the webrev for the patch which is suppose to fix bug 5558 (
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5558). The webrev location
is,
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~herch/rev01/webrev/


We were in looking to install the just bare minimal installation of
opensolaris so that we can decrease the provisioning time for new systems
where don't really require firefox or other bells and whistles of a Desktop
Environment. Caiman installer by default looks for the presence of the
firefox before it completes the installation. Because of this we were unable
to drop firefox from our AI manifest which also meant bringing in lot of GUI
libs which we will never use.

So in order to address the issue, I wrote a patch which will let the
installation go ahead and succeed even if firefox is not present. However if
the firefox is present it will do what it used to (set the homepage).

To test this patch, I followed steps,

Test -1
1. apply the patch
2. rebuild the AI image
3. keep the AI manifest to default value - babel_install
Result - No issues.

Test-2
1. same as 1 and 2 above
3. Modify AI manifest so that only minimal required packages are included,
remove babel_install
Result - No issues.


Please let me know what could be the next step to get this thing into main
caiman release.
