I've never installed Apple OS X but I have installed Microsoft; it's NOT at all easy. Or perhaps you are referring to "no-one really installs Microsoft at all"? This is true; systems come with MS Windows installed and a CD (if provided) which will reinstalls ON YOUR HARDWARE (but not on other). >It is relatively simple to make this happen without changing the interactive >installer at all: >http://blogs.sun.com/glagasse/entry/howto_enable_zfs_compression_when > >But for most sites who will be doing large scale installations at sites, >they will not be using interactive installers. But you will need to provide an escape hatch. (And I'm fine for interactive install to allow you to start a shell window but AI install needs to provide an escape hatch) Casper _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
