Hi Tim,

Thanks for answering my post. I have been reading a lot of the
documentation and will do some more reading over the next couple of days in
preparations.

Although I am still not sure where the main build branch is to create the
LiveCD of OI (Hypster), it seems that these are the important locations:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/slim_source

My next steps, I am guessing, will be to install OI on some native hardware
so that I will have a build environment in OI to build OI LiveCD and then I
will try to do a basic complete build without modifying anything. If that
goes well then I can investigate taking out packages from the LiveCD.

I would like to see how small I can make the actual LiveCD with GUI.

Cheers,
Lonnie
