Current OpenSolaris 200811 don't have final CLI installer, so we need to create a procedures to get clean and potentially supportable/sustainable OpenSolaris JeOS CLI image with current GUI installer or use CLI install prototypes.

After upgrade of my home PC to AMD quad-core Phenom I got left some relatively powerful hardware:
Asus M2NPV-VM mATX motherboard with 2GB orf667Mhz DDRII and Dual Core Athlon X2 5400+ 65W
Normally I am selling old parts, but now I was wonder if I can build cheap OpenSolaris ZFS based file server from it.

For OpenSolaris Virtual Image and Virtual Appliances creation procces most important is , if we can load VMDK file created on VirtualBox into VMware Workstation in ESX server family products. Lets really try it for OpenSolaris 64bit.
For example for Devel, QA and LAB services can be important to make direct VMDK disk migration without to go throw painful OVF virtual disk compression/decompression.

[http://www.sun.com/launch/ OpenSolaris 2008.05 released] , two distribution Live CD media are available:
| os200805.iso | GZIP compression | Primary Languages
|
| os200805g.iso | LZMA compression | All Languages
|
Install of GZIP based media os200805.iso is reported to be faster in Virtual Environments like xVM, VirtualBOX, Vmware or Paralles.
Note: You can add languages later from pkg.opensolaris.org network repository with pkg install
For example to add Czech language support install these packages:
pkg search -r -s | grep Czech
SUNWgnome-l10nmessages-cs GNOME software message files for Czech
SUNWlang-cs Czech language support
pkg install SUNWlang-cs SUNWgnome-l10nmessages-cs
Hint: You can also try OpenSolaris 2008.05 on many platforms using just released SUN VirtualBox version 1.6
