I think that its really important that the live cd is a true subset of what a user would get from a full indiana (or solaris next as the case may be) install. From a usability perspective the closer to the finally installed bits the better - including default settings etc. I'd be strongly against delivering a gnu userland if that wasn't the default when the bits are finally committed to disk. -Mark > > Thanks > > -Sanjay _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
