We have a good number of people who are or will be running OpenSolaris
and will be expecting that IB will run out of the box. If we can I'd
like to have the hermon driver and the associated framework installed by
default on OpenSolaris.
Thanks

Nearly every VP & director in the company wants their software on the
liveCD installed by default. The sum total of software that will fit is
just under 700 MB. Given the target market of the liveCD, adding all the
IB drivers and support infrastructure doesn't make sense. One of the
nice things about Opensolaris is that you can find and install the
packages you want very easily from a networked repository.
Should you wish to make alternative tradeoffs, we develop and deliver
the tools that allow you to build your own optimal combination of
packages on your very own liveCD.
