But I didn't take issue with "Nevada". I took issue with "Nevada installation" and "JumpStart". The former strikes me as a reference to the installer used in SXCE. The latter is certainly a reference to a pre-IPS/OpenSolaris installer that is now obsolete. The "important distinction to note" here is whether the post-IPS, post-build 131 OpenSolaris installers enable NWAM by default. Nico --
