what is the reason why there is no osol-1002-XXX-sparc.iso so far?
Because the text mode installer isn't done yet, and most SPARC
systems supported by opensolaris wouldn't be able to use the
graphical installer.
hmm -- is this of no priority for osol-1002 (final)? as there will be
no SXCE releases (sparc bootable media) anymore
(http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2009-August/001220.html)
i thought osol is going to be its replacement...
i feel an unstable/unfinished osol-1002-XXX-sparc.iso would be
better then just no bootable media for sparc.
Text mode installer is a priority. There are a number of engineers
actively working on it, we can only get there so fast. This is an open
project and you are welcome to contribute in anyway you can. The
details are here:

thanks for the link and explanations!
you mean to say text mode is a must for a sparc bootable image --
without it, there will be no osol-1002-XXX-sparc.iso?
[Cc'ing caiman] is this (textmode installer) planned to be finished for
osol-1002 final?
is it further planned to have a osol-1002-sparc.iso?
The OpenSolaris releases are time-driven, so if that feature is ready at
the time of the release integration cutoff, it'll be there; if not, it
won't. We are hoping that it will be.
