[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster distro contents confusion

[Hans J Albertsson]

Ok, so I install the iso, check what is missing and get the rest as you
show.

This machine is just a tryout for me. Wanna see if I can get SunRays, with
Firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice going and then a serviio dlna server
using ffmpeg for transcoding.
Most other server bits here are on FreeNAS boxes.

I'm not seriously expecting hipster to be super stable, but I can't imagine
you folks putting all this effort in unless your experience occasionally
includes reasonable usefulness.
