[OpenIndiana-discuss] XStreamOS distro available

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Hi, sure boot environments are there, inside illumos kernel.
About networked installtion, probably this is a different thing.
If I well remember, there was some kind of software you may add to Solaris 10 to make it a
network installation server, do you think it's still available and usable with illumos?

Hi,
this is a bare distribution featuring just the illumos kernel and dependency packages,
just the minimum requirements + gcc.
Is this your take at becoming the reference distro for development
and lightweight-footprint testing of development for illumos-gate? ;)
I am not sure if the distro for such dev/test purposes (or a server)
needs to be cluttered with GUI installer and desktop as others suggest;
at most - as optional packages.
If so, does it also support boot environments and perhaps networked
installation (over PXE or the likes)? Some sort of automated installer
to initialize racks of servers or new test VMs with a new kernel build -
now that would be a useful feature for the purpose.
My 2c,
