This is one of the reasons I haven't moved to Indiana yet. I shouldn't have to go find core Solaris packages to add to OpenSolaris. That's just broken. Changing the default PATH when you ship the commercial version to something that Solaris people will consider sane is only going to tick off the Linux users en mass. Better to change the PATH now and help them get adjusted to it in the first place one at a time. fpsm _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
