It's been discussed here many times before. It's a source repository, akin to kernel.org for Linux. You don't execute source. The distributors take the source, compile it, package it, and put it into neat DVD images for installing on a system. That's what Sun's Solaris, SchilliX, Nexenta, BeleniX, MarTUX, and the others are. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
