Hey, Again, I've been dabbling in what we currently have. As a first step, I've just generated a whole bunch of package lists, with compressed sizes for Solaris Express build 66.
I did this by basically going into each SUNW* directory under Solaris_11/Product, and generating a size vs package name vs package description triplet. http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-1-contents.txt http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-2-contents.txt http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-3-contents.txt http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-4-contents.txt http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-5-contents.txt http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-6-contents.txt and summarizing across the entire set - http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-total-contents.txt Here's the non-SUNW packages - http://www.gnome.org/~gman/solaris-66-cd-non-sun-contents.txt There's a whole heap of analysis that can be done on this - o Removing the non-distributable packages o Removing the localization packages o Removing the developer packages o Removing the potentially redundant multiple version packages o Removing the stuff we actually don't care about o Estimating the packages that would be useful for a single CD I plan to start looking at answering a few of these questions. If anyone else is keen, please feel free to investigate and do some write-ups. At the very least, there's *definitely* some low hanging fruit for Solaris Express alone.
