    How To Build OpenSolaris
    http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0050/index.html

    or this masive huge work-in-progress ?

    http://www.blastwave.org/docs/index.html

    Because I updated the former slightly to point to snv_40 download links
and the latter still needs me to figure out how to burn DVD+R DL media
which I can not presently do with either cdrw or with cdrecord.  I am
trying to debug the cdrecord process and Jörg has been helping me with
it ( code changes etc ) such that I can get my snazzy new SONY DRU-820A
to burn the 8.5 GB ISO required.  NO ONE WANTS TO DOWNLOAD an 8.5GB ISO
image.  Even worse is that even if you could you then need to burn it.

    The long and short of it is .. the "Grand OpenSolaris Distro - DVD" (
formally known as BOB but promoted to GOD-DVD ) is a work in progress
and as soon as I have that 8.5GB ISO burning neatly I will let people
know.  I guess I could just go get a machine that runs Windows XP and
run the software that SONY gave me but I don't have a copy of XP and I
don't like the idea of buying a machine with a Windows XP license to
burn the OpenSolaris focused contents.
