With regards to IPS (packaging system), is it possible to keep the release 
repository/tree as default authority yet install selective packages fro the dev 
repository? I want to upgrade to Firefox 3.5 but I want a stable environment 
for everything else. When I try to update to SUNWfirefox from dev repo using 
IPS GUI (ipkg-gui), it fails and I get the * (indicates updates available) for 
lots of other packages. Effectively it breaks the IPS tree. To get it back I 
have to uninstall the SUNWfirefox package and remove the dev repostiory from my 
list of authorities.  

Currently I'm using build 111 (OpenSolaris 2009.06 + update from 111b to 111) 
and for the first time everything works, loving it. I don't want to test the 
waters with build 118 on this laptop. However I have some small issues with 
3.1b... well, it's a beta after all.
