I have to admit that OpenSolaris, a la beadm, zfs, etc., is so far advanced relative to, and in such a different league from, anything that is imaginable in Linux, I don't think we can discuss this matter in terms of "something similar". But I believe your concerns have been easily addressed with a "beadm activate" command. This step is omitted in this discussion, as it is pretty much a given thing. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
