[oi-dev] SPARC Text Installer

[Daniel Bossert]

Hello 
I also have a SPARC maschine at home (an old SUN Netra T1) and could do testing and provide feedback. 
Regards

Good Morning,

I've seen various people enquire about when we are going to release a SPARC iso.

What I'd like to propose is that we work towards preparing a dev text installer, using Illumos and incorporating the the hard work done on g11n, and a recent build of SFW etc. I think most people are using SPARC based servers as opposed to workstations, so I suspect XNV/JDS can follow at a later date if there is interest. 

I believe it's important to get a *development* release out the door to allow people to test on the SPARC platform to provide feedback, generate additional interest and give people an alternative to Oracle tax.

I'm not suggesting this should be a stable release. I'm not sure what consolidation versions should be used.

As I commented on IRC last night I'm willing to put in the effort to help get this done, but will need some guidance along the way.

Bad idea or not, I'm hoping that this will get a conversation going as I believe we need to make a decision about where we are going with the SPARC platform.....

:-) 

Cheers,

Matt (Wilbs)
