Hi Yuen May I suggest that a better question would have been "How to build a minimal Nevada distribution ?". I'm sure it would have gotten more responses as it is both - a more general, and a more relevent question. Apart from that unasked advice, If my memory serves right the Belenix folks (Moinak and gang) were discussing a similar thing in a thread sometime back... chasing them might be a good idea ;-) I found some articles on net on how to build minimal image of solaris with networking. Packages relating to storage (zfs, iSCSI etc) can be added to it later. The minimal system with required components, sure, is heavy - about 200MB... but shouldn't be an issue for a *NAS* box. I googled "Minimal solaris configuration" and found several articles. Hope that helps - Akhilesh This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
