Rackspace's mirror network is geographically distributed. Requesting
the mirror.rackspace.com endpoint will point you at the closest mirror
to your location. It will even route you to the next nearest mirror in
the case of an outage. Hard coding this to the lon.mirror.rackspace.com
endpoint forces every user to route through London, regardless of their
location.
Otherwise they refuse to install. Added some overhead to allow for trying package updating and installation as well.
daily-canary appears to have returned as well
On Big Sur and up apple includes the VirtIO driver and therefore the install disk is named
Apple Inc. VirtIO Block Device instead of QEMU HARDDISK Media.
This PR lets the documentation reflect that.
* Add initial Solaris/Illumos support
* Fix OpenIndiana kernel panic on boot
The OpenIndiana kernel panics on boot in the AHCI driver. Switching the
machine type from "q35" to "pc" seems to fix the issue.
* Fix Illumos/OpenIndiana USB controller issue.
* Add openindiana support
* Updated quickget with current OpenIndiana release
* Change OpenIndiana video card to vmware-svga
OpenIndiana's default Xorg configuration doesn't work with QXL, virtio,
or VGA, but it does with vmware-svga.
* Updated man pages for OpenIndiana support
* Changed default Solaris/OpenIndiana boot to legacy
The OpenIndiana installer defaults to MBR partition table and BIOS boot
code even in EFI mode, so changed quickget to set 'boot="legacy"' in the
configuration file.

If you have set a download directory in aria2's config, quickget will
download files to the wrong directory. This overwrites that setting and
downloads files to the correct location.

Also support their .bz2 compressed isos, giving access to all releases
back to 2017.
Removing (or making optional) the .bz2 in the search
will just return the current iso
This obsoletes #675 but in case that gets closed
here's an attempt to acknowlege a valuable heads-up.
