Hi Folks,
After some gap another BeleniX revision is now available. The
following are some of the stuff that goes into this release:
* Upgraded to the OpenSolaris source snapshot: 20060626.
* The most important feature of this release is the development of
an I/O scheduler for the HSFS modul

This is a excited project. I'm fed up with ftp to solaris from windows system
to share files. My question is, when can I get a prototype to try it ?
Actaully, I have worked on linux filesystem and I would like to make some

This is no problem. The main source change was to supress a warning
cdrecord 2.01.01.a10 will be in snv 44. Since a11 just came out yesterday,
it'll take a couple of builds to get it in since the cdrecord releases come out
