Thanks for the information about the outdated links.

Usually we release installation images twice a year (April and October).
This year we needed to release the 2025.06 versions because the gui 
installer image released in April  wasn't usable.

 From time to time I upload test images into the test folder below 
https://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster/
which can be used like the official images. The test folder gets cleaned 
up sometimes, though.

A remark: as OpenIndiana Hipster is a rolling release you typically 
don't need to download the newer images.
They are only useful if support for newer hardware has been added 
(mostly by illumos-gate).
Once you have installed OpenIndiana you can simply run pfexec pkg update 
(-v) to get the latest bits installed.
Typically these bits are even newer than the latest installation images 
as we have frequent updates of packages.

And a final remark: The number of people contributing to OI Hipster is 
very low. We appreciate any helping hand.

Regards
Andreas
