Sure dude, we understand, and I just want to let you know that you deserve some serious kudos for the terrific work you're doing here. As I said earlier, ISOs would be very welcome so that we can get the SPARC build environment for Illumos up and running. The real show stopper for me was, as you describe, the lack of an installable ISO - I lack the skill and time to assemble a distro by hand. With your work we can get this stuff done in a few days, I hope. > The problem is only? Why pays the electricity bills and the bandwith? I'll see what I can do about that. I believe with your distro and Volker's help we can have one or two independent build sites bootstrapped in relatively short order. > How do I suddenly get all these SAS cards from? > Well, those are LSISAS-3080X-HP(!) that you can flash FCodes in. > After a hack to /etc/driver_aliases they attach also, after the FW > flash.
