Hello.
It's a call for test for some installer changes.
New iso is here: 
http://buildzone.oi-build.r61.net/OI_GUI_experimental-2015-12-18.iso

Main changes:
- all dependencies on sysidtool binaries are removed, sysding 
(https://github.com/OpenIndiana/sysding) is used for initial system 
configuration;
- text installer now can configure network interface (needs more 
testing, for example, for cases when there are none or several network 
interfaces in the system) using sysding;
- several issues in gui installer are resolved (including warning on 
startup).

If you want to test how sysding will behave itself in zone, you can 
install  zone, uninstall *sysidtool* in zone before first boot, install 
sysding, configure it as necessary using ZONE_ROOT/etc/sysding.conf, 
boot zone.

As installer doesn't longer needs */sysidtool and other packages from 
closed admin consolidation, they are going to be removed soon.
