Would it be interesting to put them onto a LiveCD similar to Indiana on x86? There is a way how we can reduce the boot_archive size, and hence bring down boot-time and memory footbrint to a reasonable level. >> > > is it possible to co-install SXCE in a ZFS pool that already has a > Solaris 10U6 installed?

It would be an interesting thing to find this out. In theory it should be possible, even if only manually / not offered via the curses-installer. Although I myself live on Solaris 11 since June 2005 and never installed or used Solaris 10 since then. But I do understand that corporate environments have different priorities and requirements. But it would also be wothwhile, to have two distict builds of Nevada installed at the same time, in different pools. In the old days of UFS you could simply create - and boot off - any arbitrary other slice (and create a nvalias for convenience). %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
