Both OmniOS and Tribblix don't have this failure mode as they don't have

the sort of trick that isn't really practical for the GUI boot, though.
Uhm, SquashFS anyone? We are a desktop system so we should use a desktop
technology. Why don't change for the superior and proved solution? And as I
saw
they even used SquashFS for cli only Linux without any problems. Or it's NIH
syndrome? Or just hate Linux? Or we must adhere to the tradition of
OpenSolaris
and not allowed to change anything? Otherwise we will become less Solarish!
Isn't
it?
It's not so much the space on media that's the problem, as the space in RAM
that
poses the restrictions. SquashFS is only small when it's compressed on media.

BTW, you didn't answered me about how to do full screen with Tribblix on
VirtualBox, Peter. Looking forward to you.
