There is a pkg server, pkg.opensolaris.org, but it currently has the same contents that's shipped with the Live CD.

Well, we certainly think there are lots of OpenSolaris technologies that are unique to this open source project that will provide reasons for people to stick around. Certainly our desktop story hasn't always been the best but there has been astounding improvements in the past few years and many if not most of the latest desktop technologies are available today for OpenSolaris. It's my hope that we'll be seeing Compiz, KDE and many of the newer desktop tools that are become standard in a IPS package repository in the not too distant future. dsc _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
