OK, I suppose they will be more useful only after we can make usb sticks from other OSs. How about this scenario though - I use the USB image to boot up OpenSolaris, and make a real physical USB stick using that? Is it viable? I am going through all this just to avoid scratched CDs -> failed installs -> grief :) Rohan -- Rohan Dhruva _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
