[indiana-discuss] Need your input on safemode boot archive in Indiana

Hey,
        As part of Indiana we are taking a fresh look at safemode boot.  
        The safemode boot archive in Solaris 10 and Nevada is the miniroot
        that is used by install.  As a result the size restrictions of the
        miniroot dictate the size and contents of the safe mode boot 
archive.  

        With the live CD approach, we are no longer encumbered by these
        restrictions and therefore we want to take this opportunity to
        make this archive more useful.

        So, are there tools or utilities that you would like to see when 
booted
        in safemode ? Are there new features that you would like to see ?
        Or any limitations in the existing safemode boot archive that 
you would
        like to resolve.

        If so please participate in this discussion on 
caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org.


        Thanks

      Sanjay
