Hi Michael,

Alp said it actually:

This leads you to a very useful summary written by Jim Klimov and teaches you what is what.
And as stated there: 

"The information and procedures below can help if you are migrating your system to a new  rpool device, or perhaps if you are into writing new installation wizards."


I also bugged Dave Miner 5 to 8 years ago on caiman-discuss why they never thought about incorporating at least some few advanced extra options into the GUI.
They repeatedly and all over again told me I shall SHUT UP (and Sanjay Nadkarni that person - on Illumos-devel everybody saw which lies he now claims about me, only because I wasn't happy at all with IPS at the time [for valid reasons] and also complained about the same things as you in Caiman GUI, on caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org) and they wanted it in the slim (hence the name) way they did it.
Simply because to re-visualize all the permutations of available cmd line complexity into a GUI isn't possible anyway.
Nevertheless, this Sanjay Nadkarni heavily and for all times disappointed me with the trash he "contributed" to Illumos-devel last month without any reason, and I never saw him posting much to Illumos-Devel ever before, what a worthwhile "contribution".

Now, you are free to do that (to add the wanted functionality) as slim_install is open-src (until the point when they moved it into OS/Net in September 2012 and hence closed it).
If not, then follow your own suggestion and let Caiman hide that complexity from you, perform a default install and afterwards add mirrors.

I'm on your side, but just use the default and add mirrors later.
It's easy. And it's reliable.


Regards,
%martin
