Thanks Andreas, You were spot on and looks like I missed that step before going forward.
I have been playing around with a number of ideas from other distributions which perhaps might be applicable to OpenIndiana. One, in particular, that I really like is from Debian in which they have the Debian-Installer (GTK) mini.iso. This mini.iso is ram-based LiveCD that is only about 70 MB and basically is a netinst that has the core kernel, xrog (xserver), and the GTK graphical install script. I have actually built it from scratch and it was not too difficult but think that it could work for OI as well since more people might like to try OI if is was much smaller to test out. For me, this would be useful since it would be really just the core OI without all of the applications that could be installed as desired at a later time as well. Any thoughts on this?
