Yes, it is.  This--I am sure you know this better than I--also underscores the 
critical importance of the need to establish a massive database of user 
experiences, in order to accelerate the process for OpenSolaris to be more 
widely accepted as a great OS.  & this is what I meant by "everyone needs to 
chip in".

OpenSolaris does not, practically speaking, allow multiple booting with itself. 
 This substantially cuts down the number of data points that we can extract 
from one machine.  Of course you can do multiple snapshots or run multiple VMs, 
but I am talking about conventional multiple booting.

One way to overcome this limitation is to install OpenSolaris in an external 
HD, and then use multiple USB HDs to do multiple booting (& thus collecting 
multiple data points).

As I understand it, Build 105 is supposed to have solved the problem that 
prevents os0811 from booting from a USB flash (but not os0806).  Looking 
forward to trying this again.
