Yes, I saw that too (although I didn't look as closely, just looked for kernel code). I saw a page for what I can play with soonest, how to quickly install as a VirtualBox guest. But the page it linked to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html did not appear to include a pre-installed VM among the downloads, although it was implied to be there. While I assume that means a regular install might work, it would be much quicker to check things out if the pre-installed VM (with suitable settings, so one needn't guess) was available. Once again, this suggests to me a disinterest in anything other than official channels, Fortune 100 clients, etc. Never mind that people working at large clients might want to familiarize themselves on their own time… _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
