this Project is more imported . (Maybe the idea to build an Distribution is old-fashion ;-) at the moment you can add the following Repositories: bob at opensolaris:~# pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000 sunfreeware.com bob at opensolaris:~# pkg set-authority -O http://blastwave.network.com:10000 blastwave.org bob at opensolaris:~# pkg authority AUTHORITY URL opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80/ blastwave.org http://blastwave.network.com:10000/ sunfreeware.com http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/ bob at opensolaris:~# pkg refresh --full what we need is an local Server because we are facing more and more the Problem of Timeouts! the only workaround is at the moment : bob at opensolaris:~$ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=900 or download the full Repository from ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/opensolaris.org/release_isos/2009/06/ a) download a single 7.17Gb ISO image and mount it via the loopback file system (lofi) - unless you're one of the few users with the ability to burn a 7Gb ISO to a double layer DVD, or, b) download the two, smaller, ISOs that you can burn on two separate DVD disks. The two smaller, DVD sized ISOs are: osol-repo-0906-p01.iso (3.64Gb) and osol-repo-0906-p02.iso (3.57Gb) http://genunix.org/dist/indiana/README.osol-repo Robert
