I'm sure than any packages it may be missing can be added after installation. There are no missing packages; the difference is that the global iso uses a different compression algorithm, allowing more language packages to be packed on the image, but it's slower booting and installing.

Again, the very first DVD readers did not read DVD + format, which is almost forgotten today. My experiences with DVD+RW read compatibility made 2-5 years ago are extremely bad. Using the same brand of writers usually does not give problems. DVD+ compatibility seems to be better now but still less optimal than DVD+. The DVD-Forum runs frequent readability tests with all known media, all known writers and all known readers. But this is done onle for the official DVD- formats. DVD+ is not a DVD-Forum format. If you have a drive that is very old (in special Toshiba notebooks drives) there is a high risk that DVD+ read support is not implemented at all. Additional DVD+ support for all drives started mainly because there have been shops that sold DVD- only writers but only DVD+ media was present in the same shop. Customers complained to the drive manufacturers... and as all DVD Chip designers did implement DVD+ support at that time because there was an ivitation to bid for a DVD+- writer from the Sony PC division before, DVD+ support was finally added to all drives. BTW: if you care about long term storage, look at Verbatim high quality media. Also note that TDK (A Pioneer owned company) should be able to make good media. My oldest DVD-R that I am still able to reead completely without problems was written by me (using cdrecord) in March 1998. It is a Pioneer medium sold for 70 Euro at that time.

I didn't think I need support for all languages. Was that my mistake? Not a mistake at all. You wrote: I downloaded the snv_98 iso, burned it to DVD (it wouldn't fit on a CD), and I merely showed that there does exist a CD-size image. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
