[OmniOS-discuss] network configuration script

[Frank M.]

Hi,

is there an update for vmware-users?
Where in the new downloaded iso I have to place my own config-script
or the py-script from Michael? I cannot find any in the iso
included files after boot/install... With the old installer there was
no problem.
