There are two 'versions' of Solaris Express, the Community Release and the 'regular' version. The Community Release, as James mentioned, is 2-3 releases ahead of the regular version and has not had as much testing. The Community Release should coincide with the release of the source, but the schedules are not always in sync, so sometimes the CR will be available before the matching source is ready. We'll try and make things clearer as we go forward. Derek -- Derek Cicero Program Manager Solaris Kernel Group, Software Division
