Hmm. I'm curious as to what these are, but that could be for another day... > If Belenix isn't interesting, oh well, just thought I > should mention the > option. Less a matter of "interesting" than of "not suiting my current purposes". But thanks. :-) > It's not a matter of "can't", it's a matter > of different > constraints we have on the Solaris product that need > to be dealt with, > which Belenix doesn't have.

Again, I'm curious as to what these constraints are, but since the code is closed, I presume you can't say too much on it. I am wondering what the multiple-CD issue may be. The fact that Belenix runs and installs in 256MB of memory (from an email I got and need to reply to tonight...) is a positive thying, and will mean that OpenSolaris variants may "lead the charge" into the new audience spaces. It will be interesting to see how the "main" OpenSolaris distribution will move forward with the installer memory issues. Thanks for all of the comments. I will definitely keep an eye on this.
