Hi Glenn,

I can confirm above. I have OpenSolaris b99 (upgraded from b96) on my
old laptop Acer TravelMate 2355 with only 512 MB of RAM. However I need
a lot of patience to use OpenSolaris on that hardware.

I've noticed it when I was trying to install b99 from the scratch!
Finally, I've installed b96 again and upgraded it to b99 using
`pkg image-update` :D

My best regards,
