Hi,
I want to used the jumpstart to install opensolaris
automatically, But, as I know,
OpenSoalris can't installed from the jumpstart in the platform of
Solaris 10.
I think OpenSoalris should support to installation from the Solaris 10
jumpstart.
I think this solution is the best way to solve the problem.
Also, I know AI auto-installation is improving , the basic
function should be added is start and finish script.
if AI want to provide concrete requirements, I will cheer up .
But AI provide the start and finish script is the basic of those works.
Thanks
