   This is a very good list. The things required to achieve these:

   * Solaris Express installation (Optionally you can have OpenSolaris 
sources and build env)
   * BeleniX ISO generation setup
      I can put ISO build setup on a CD and hand over copies at the next 
Bosug meet or even
      before.
  * One harddisk partition to test BeleniX install - but this needs to 
be on a separate harddisk or
     box at the momment till the ability to preserve existing slices is 
added.

   Yes nice approach. We will have to discuss this further during the 
next meet.
