What would it include then? Something less than Solaris Express? Solaris
Express and then some? Solaris Express + something - something?
I still stand by my suggestion that we need to have a nice reference
distribution which you can rebuild yourself.
- Download opensolaris.iso
- Install opensolaris.iso
(Compilers and everything???)
- Boot reference release
- cd /usr/src
make opensolaris.iso
and have pretty much the same thing as before.
