   Well you can tweak the /lib/svc/method/xserver script to give you the 
livecd-like
   behavior:

   * Execute 'echo "2" > /.desk'
   * Edit the /lib/svc/method/xserver script that delete the lines:

      if [ -f /.livecd ]
      then

      at the beginning and also delete the corresponding:

      fi

      at the end of the script.

   Using Dataone on Solaris is easy. I used it for 2 months while
   working from Calcutta:

   * You ADSL modem should have an ethernet port that is connected
      to your computer's ethernet port - that's how you'd see the eth0
      on linux.

   * On BeleniX execute:

      ifconfig -a plumb
      ifconfig -a

      This will show you all the interfaces. The lo0 is loopback and the
      other one will be your ethernet. Note down this name.

   * Now follow the instructions at (pppoe is already present on BeleniX
      so you can ignore the "*INSTALLING PPPD 4.0" section.*
