Honestly, I've wished numerous times that I could use OpenSolaris for

What have you tried and how did it fail ?
What was the approach to you to doing the install ?
How did you choose what to keep and what to remove ?
What is the goal installed on disk size ?
What is the goal memory footprint ?
What can we do - in the appliances community even! - to resolve this ?
The most important advice about building an OpenSolaris based appliance
or embedded system I would give is to completely forget about using the
install system that Solaris uses. Some of the other distros might have
something better but ideally for an appliance the installer probably
needs to have no questions asked at all and be as simple as unpacking a
single file to the disk image (either tar, cpio, dd pick your poison)
and probably being able to fetch that over tftp,https would be good.
