No doubt there will be a number of queries from those of us still

OpenSolaris are:
- Sparse root zones (more for the immutability of OS-critical
filesystems than for space reasons)
- A non-AI based SPARC installer
Any plans on either of those features?
Both are being worked on. I don't know yet about the timelines for
sparse root zones (though it's been discussed that ZFS dedup might be
the logical answer here), but I'm hoping a text based interactive
installer will be available for 2010.02 which will be for both SPARC
and x86.
You can read about the plans for the text based installer here -
