I would suggest that if you're looking to install a production system, you sign up for Solaris Express support and run the latest official SX release once the one you want is available. If you can't or won't do that, at least run a proper SXCR installation. It's pointless to BFU a machine to build 36 if your intent is to make it a production server; you're better off just doing a full build 36 install. BFU is not a general purpose installation utility for administrators or end users; it is for ON developers. If you're not testing modified or bleeding-edge ON bits on the machine (and clearly you're not if you want something that will Just Work for a year), you should not be using BFU on it. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
