Thank God Open Solaris doesn't have to worry about JDS branding
success or issues. But I have to ask which "Sun-specific stuff" is
or will be part of Open Solaris?
The intent is to make the build system and patches we use to build
and brand GNOME into JDS available to the OpenSolar
Thank you for your warning of "savecore -L". I am going to do "dumpadm -d swap".

It appears that the installation media did not get burned correctly.
If you have another system with "cdrtools" installed, use the `readcd` tool to
determine whether that is the case.
For example, on Solaris:

Because UNIX makes a clear separation of [I]mechanism[/I] and [I]policy[/I].
Just because Solaris implements a window manager or managers popular on Linux
does not make it any more or less like Linux.
