   I have to reinstall opensolaris, there is some troubles with the installer   
      
     1. If you customize packages to install, the installer can't fix the   
   dependencies, but only tell what package that is needed, you have then   
   look up that package and mark it yourself (or select to ignore   
   dependencies).   
      
     2. Boot loader seemed to not be installed (could it be that some   
   dependency was broken, I didn't fancy to look up all the dependencies   
   for 35 packages).   
      
     3. The resolution of the screen was a bit too high, I had to have my   
   face more or less in the monitor to see what it was written.   
      
     4. The graphical installer uses twm as windows manager, which can   
   cause trouble to new users, as as soon the mouse pointer gets outside   
   the install window, the focus for the windows is gone too and you can't   
   type.   
      
   There could be a lot more done on the installer, to make it better, yet   
   no reflections on the opensolaris itself, as I haven't managed to boot   
   into it yet, as boot loader missing.
