Hi, The instructions are little cryptic. The instructions on the download/ON page refer to building a development system with all "latest" (as in nightly, bleeding edge) thingies installed.
You can just choose to install the DVD/CD release of "Solaris Express Community Release" and be happy and merry :-) Just download the CD/DVD images, burn, install and off you go. The issue comes when it's time for upgrade, as you know opensolaris is a work in progress, so there is a release every fortnight or so. Then to upgrade, you have the following options: 1. Keep watching the release news, and skip the releases which don't offer anything too interesting, then download the DVD/CD release, burn and upgrade installation. Negative is that you'd need to download whole wad of 2.5 G stuff. 2. Keep watching, and follow the procedure in 3(a)/3(b) (for DEBUG build) /blastwave.org (for NON-DEBUG build), to download a smaller bunch (~100MB) and upgrade using BFU process documented there. NOTICE: If you follow this step, you CANNOT upgrade the installation thereafter using (1)... you'd have to follow this (2) step thereafter... unless you want to a clean install using (1).
