Use one fdisk partition with multiple slices. Solaris doesn't support having more than one Solaris-type fdisk partition. If you set up your system that way, it just won't work. Typically, people use around four slices for an LU configuration. Two are equal-sized, and are used for the boot environment root file systems. One is for swap/dump. And the fourth is for local storage (e.g., /export/home or a ZFS pool). > 2. if my installation is the Reduced Networking Core System Support plus > a few additional packages I added *after* the installation was complete > but from the same installation media, will live-upgrade do the > right-thing and upgrade all the packages I installed? Yes, that should work, but (in general) I don't recommend attempting to "minimize" the system by removing packages. It ends up being extremely painful to craft a custom set of packages for desired features. Instead, just turn off the things you don't want. Disk space is cheap, and your time isn't. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
