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, we do need hosting for a repository.
