Hi,
I'm going to suggest an improvement on current live CD image of OpenSolaris
dev release:
After booting OSOL dev B131 I think that language support is no fully
integrated, furthermore after an installation with live CD, the user has to
install additional packages that are not included on live CD.
What happens if the user does not have access to Internet?
I think that those packages must be included on live image (install media),
perhaps the size of live image should be increased... and perhaps it has to
be expanded to live DVD:
For example, with catalan language (after an initial installation with live
CD):
pfexec pkg install lang-support-catalan SUNWlang-ca-extra
Regards,
Robert
