Thanks. I will try it out. What I would really love to see is something |
| 14 |
like the "standard" gentoo; There is a Universal CD/DVD, that contains |
| 15 |
just enough software to partition/install an OpenSolaris kernel (stage1 |
| 16 |
and stage2 software tarballs), and everything else comes from the |
| 17 |
portage system. I really like the Solaris kernel, and especially the |
| 18 |
ZFS, and nexenta is "nice", but I would really like to have more control |
| 19 |
over the packages installed. I had thought that Portaris was a first |
| 20 |
step towards making this happen, and that the gentoo-alt group was the |
| 21 |
group for "alternate platforms". I will give your link a looking at when |
| 22 |
I hop into the nexenta VM next, and will let you know how everything works. |

Again, thanks for the response, and sorry if I misunderstood the nature |
| 25 |
of this list. |
