Hi all,

I'm currently trying to setup an XVM server using oi_147.

When looking at the packages that will be installed when adding XVM
functionality, I couldn't believe my eyes ;-)

=======================================================
user at system:~$ pfexec pkg install -nv  pkg://openindiana.org/system/xvm

           Create boot environment:    No

=======================================================


Adding ~90 packages, including Xorg for virtualization is :-0

The system should be functioning as a XEN server, working somewhere in a
data center. Why ever should I install stuff like TWM, gnome-audio,
xcalc and many more just to get a hypervisor running???

Is there some way to install the XVM hypervisor and the really essential
commandline tools only?

Regards,
Mr. Olli
