I have a running system now. Thank you very much, Michal!

I used your snapshot, OpenIndiana_Text_X86.usb

I installed, rebooted, did pkg update, rebooted, did pkg install mate_install, 
rebooted, did pkg uninstall mate_install, rebooted.

Then I put mate-session into .xinitrc. startx then starts up Mate!

Super! I’m glad to have “Solaris” again. I first used it in the mid-‘80s, when 
I bought a Sun2 for the lab I worked at. Eventually I became a sysadmin and 
used Sun hardware for about 17+ years. I also ran BSD Unix, from 4.2BSD onwards.
