Sorry for jumping in late, but I really don't see the need for most of 
them, and NWAM has not fallen over for me at all. Aside from occasionally 
having to restart in order to grab a dhcp, I think it works pretty good.

Most of what Mike listed are functions that are not applicable to laptops, 
for the most part. Yes, if you're the obscure person trying to use your 
laptop as a server, it can be useful I 'spose.

Let's not forget that the landscape is changing quite a bit, and it seems 
the model is changing for OpenSolaris and Sun both. Seems like a good 
opportunity to embrace and extend, rather than continute to carry baggage.

With that said, I'm fine with you continuing to do as you see with 
inetmenu, it is the doers that get things done. Maybe offer an IPS package 
in the experimental repository (or what it is called when it is 
created)??? More software is always good, we have a lot that is missing on 
our platform.
