For those of you who missed the announcement (like me), the LiveMedia 
project is now open on OpenSolaris.org.

This project is all about running Solaris on CD, DVD, or a flash memory 
device. Currently, we've developed a prototype called "livekit" that 
uses a Solaris Express DVD or netinstall image to create a Live DVD ISO 
image that provides a bootable Solaris Express desktop environment. This 
prototype is based largely on the work that Moinak 
<http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/moinakg> has done to create the 
Belenix 
<http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/belenix_home.html> 
Live CD distribution.

I'm pleased to announce that the Live Media project has at long last 
opened. If you're interested in building live CD/DVD versions of 
OpenSolaris, come join us. The project opening includes access to a 
prototype kit for constructing your own live DVD from a Solaris Express 
image.
