[oi-dev] illumos based OpenIndiana DVD

[Garrett D'Amore]

Thanks everyone for putting in this effort.

I need to locate someone who can produce media.  I'm thinking I need to
produce a few hundred copies at least -- maybe even a thousand.
Opinions?

Also, do we have any artwork to put on the media and/or the sleeves?
(Ideally with the new illumos logo?)

I've not booted the new media *yet* but will do so today.  Is the new
illumos logo ("powered by") used on the OI desktop as well?
