This is very interesting. I see it's described as minimal. I assume
that means it's text only. Is it equivalent to some x86 distribution,
oi_151a9 for example? I've been doing a similar thing on my T2000.
Just now I'm building all the consolidations. I'm just finishing the
JDS consolidation. My intention was also to produce an ISO and a
package repository for SPARC.


Yes, minimal but IPS-based: OmniOS scheme has been taken as a basis, so no JDS or
other consolidations.
