>From what I read of the ddtool pages, it doesn't seem to have a 'download the driver (if not present) and install' functionality. That would probably be a good thing to have (even when ddtool is running on something other than Indiana). Perhaps instead of a new project, maybe all that is needed is to add the download and install functionality? _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
