[csw-users] Initial Solaris Installation and Blastwave PackageInstallation

[Tracey Flanders]

That was my other question. Does it make sense to have 2 copies of gnome. 
I'm just trying to understand if it's needed. I come from linux background 
and understand the dependencies situation. I'm pretty new to solaris and 
would like to know what the proper build procedure for solaris 10 while 
getting the nice packages from blastwave. Blastwave seems like the only 
decent place that has the best packages available for Solaris that I am use 
to using. Thanks.

I use Blasewave's Gnome all the time. It rocks. Do you know if it is
possible to install Solaris without JDS? Have two of everything eats up a
lot of disk space.
