The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_101b including major
fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System
(IPS). This build is the second release candidate build for the
OpenSolaris 2008.11 release. For this build, the recommended minimum
memory size is 512MB or greater.
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so using the "image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or
by the "Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
For important information about "image-update", see the instructions at
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/image-update/

Special NVIDIA considerations
=============================
This build includes the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, version 177.80.
This updated driver no longer supports a number of legacy chipsets
which are documented below. When updating systems with such chipsets,
one can either remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it exists, or to
continue using an accelerated driver, legacy SVR4 packages are
available that can be used instead of the bundled driver
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
In order to install one of these legacy packages, the bundled driver
should be removed using the following commands
$ pfexec pkg uninstall slim_install
$ pfexec pkg uninstall NVDAgraphics
followed by downloading and executing the legacy self-extracting
archive.
