[ug-bosug] reg Solaris Build 70 installation issues

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Dear Moinak,

That was a good guess that I did not understand what this is all about.

I thought that you have arrived at a version of Solaris that is
stripped down from the 3.5 GB+ install size down to 70 MB.

There was an earlier post on this subject with a valuable response
from Ananth Shrinivas that led to
http://blogs.sun.com/szhou/entry/build_a_minimal_solaris_image and
http://solaristhings.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-small-can-you-make-open-solaris.html
. I thought that Solaris 70 is a work in that direction.

If Solaris 70 is not exactly that, then I am looking for a minimal,
bare minimal, stripped down version of solaris with just the basic
files needed to boot the GUI to have a minimal browser running.

Apart from the response from Ananth Shrinivas I have some more leads
on this, and am ready with two minimal boards and some interesting
hardware to try a minimal installation. Can I ask installation help
from Open Solaris ?

Thank you.
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy.
