hey folks,

Firstly, you know this is specific to just Indiana, right - this isn't
OpenSolaris as a whole (heck, it's not even Indiana yet, as opposed to a
__developer preview__ of it)

I for one encourage people playing about with this sort of thing - if we
don't experiment around with new stuff, then OpenSolaris is going to
stagnate, and then nobody will use it.

Secondly, lighten up will you ? You can always change $PATH post install
- it's just ones and zeroes, you know ?

	cheers,
			tim
