I certainly don't want to pigeon hole Indiana in this way - I think the confusion, if it exists, is around the stated requirement that the initial "core" when installed on a system has a usable desktop environment without having going to a package repository and grabbing more bits. That is certainly a requirement but there are definitely others. In that respect, I think that "core" should include all of the (redistributable) storage and network drivers that can be used to initially install the core contents on a target ZFS file system and then access the network to retrieve any additional content desired by the user. dsc _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
