[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing zones from templates

Hmmm... that might be an option but doesn't sound too elegant with dozends of packages.

What about branded zones? There is an /etc/brand/ipkg/pkgrm.conf that is used to remove unwanted packages after zone installation. Shouldn't there be a complementary pkg.conf to define the required ones?

Or are there other means to define zone brands?

Cheers
Stefan
