Perhaps not closed for the same reasons, but I've not seen the open sourcing of anything related to installation other than pkgadd/pkgrm and associated libraries. Perhaps it would be possible to open source jumpstart but I suspect the motivation of anyone to spend the time to do so right now is almost none due to the focus on Caiman. This is probably better discussed at install-discuss, so I have redirected it there. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
