Ok, managed to absorb that obvious reduction.. now.. but I'm still confused
about what those files are.... here's why:
I loaded 1002-118*.iso (that is where the discussion started)
I see Sun Solaris release 11.5 when it switches to the version screen
(on bootup) ... so I thought .. whoops this isn't what I thought it
was.
Then regressed to the 2009.6*.iso where I was having all the trouble
getting booted up.
So now if 2009.6 is released opensolaris and the builds are based
2010.2... where does the `Sun Solairs release 11.5' versioning come
from?
The kernel revision is currently set that way (5.11, actually) based on
historical nomenclature: SunOS 5.x is the SVR4-based kernel. The recent
Solaris releases have used only the 'x' part of that as the marketing
version, and OpenSolaris merely incorporates that current development
line of the kernel. In the Linux world, it's analogous to something
like Ubuntu 9.04, where the kernel revision is 2.6.28-11-generic.
