I think that its really important that the live cd is a true subset of what a user would get from a full indiana (or solaris next as the case may be) install. From a usability perspective the closer to the finally installed bits the better - including default settings etc. I'd be strongly against delivering a gnu userland if that wasn't the default when the bits are finally committed to disk.
Clearly there is a river to potentially cross.
Making OpenSolaris/Indiana most palatable to the Linux immigrant would mandate making defaults look most like Linux.
Making it most like Solaris.Next would require the defaults be as close to Solaris Classic.
Since it's clear we can't be identical to Solaris.Next (e.g. ksh88 default vs. something open, ksh9x) and the primary news feeds about what we're trying to do, I'd vote for Linux like, with some configuration option in Solaris.Next to be maximally Indiana compatible.
That way, Solaris.Next could still have ksh88, and usual utilities and etc. and users who set the right configuration option (systemwide, per user, whatever, defer to PSARC) would be able to accept Indiana interoperability nearly, but not quite transparently.
But is this really a Caiman issue per se?
