I wanted to know if I could boot OI using Grub2 on Q4OS before actual
installing OI on my system. And if it's possible could you give me a working
config for grub.cfg? Thanks.

It's not in /usr/include and pkg said no updates for this image. So where it
actually is?

On Debian, after I uninstalled a package, there will be it dependencies that no

apt autoremove
What is the equivalent command for pkg?
I think it's the same for all package manager to leave leftovers after

On Debian, it's simply:
apt clean
Done.
I found no easy way and ready to use options of pkg to do the same thing.
The OI VM always bloated, always increase in size in a manner that cost more

It's very slow. Sometimes it's even slower because it waiting for something
from opensolaris.org.
But opensolaris.org was closed, wasn't it?
So you query from a non-existing domain, this is the reason why it's that slow.

Sorry to post it here. I think in general Tribblix is more suitable to be a
desktop than OI. IMHO OI is better as a graphical server when Tribblix better
as a normal desktop. OI is way too bloated in size, thanks to IPS pkg. About
