And probably because Solaris 11 Express removed packages from the LiveCD
until it fit onto a CD, and that iteration hasn't happened yet for a first
development build. The tradeoff between what comes on the CD vs. needing
to be installed from the repo later is flexible, and was adjusted many times
during OpenSolaris development, especially as we neared milestone releases
and needed to shrink the image to fit the media again.
