My First Dwarf Caiman
Over dinner earlier tonight I installed Solaris Express with the first
iteration of the new "Dwarf
Caiman" installer. It's beautiful. Such an improvement over all the
previous installs. This is the first time absolutely nothing went wrong, and I didn't
have to ask anyone about anything. It just installed.
Perfectly. And I was able to follow everything quite easily, too. Then
after re-boot, it found the net all
by itself, and I was flying all over the place immediately. I
put it on a tiny little Sony TX750P laptop. Fresh install. Nothing
fancy. I just wrote over Ubuntu and took the whole disk. To everyone working on Dwarf Caiman,
very nice job.
Ah, very nice!

Looks really promising, will the new installer be integrated in the upcoming sxde? Is it already integrated in SXCE?

Yes in the upcoming SXDE and it's in b70 now (the first iteration, anyway, since there are more advancements to come). Check out Dave Miner's blog for the details: http://blogs.sun.com/dminer/entry/try_out_the_dwarf_caiman. And give it a try, too. :)
