[OpenIndiana-discuss] a few questions... flash, firefox, usb flash install, libreoffice, zfs update, suggestions

[drs grid]

Ok I'm a but green here, but was curious about the availability of adobe
flash, LibreOffice 3.4 and the latest version of Firefox for OpenIndiana.
Is there a list of "extra" repositories avail such as with RHEL/CentOS?


Secondly I initially tried to install the desktop version on a usb flash
device which did not go well the entire (default) took more than 12 hours to
get it on the stick.  I was able to boot freeNAS off of it yesterday as well
as a few other OS's. Also when it was finally installed - i waited 30
minutes for it to boot up (after which i turned it off to track down a sata
controller and extra disk). Has anyone else tried running OpenIndiana off of
flash. I am now using a SATA disk. but how and who do i notify to have them
look into this problem / possible bug?


Third after my sata install was complete and i got networking configured,
tried to use package manager to check for updates - it detected an update to
ZFS 0.5.11 (Build 5.11-0.148)
- anyhow I hit ok and got this:
" Preparing...
Gathering package information

Error:
This is an Live Image. The install operation can't be performed.
"
Not sure what is meant by 'live image', this is an installed OS - not live
CD... thoughts anyone?


Lastly... is there a place to make suggestions / feature requests for
OpenIndiana?
