I'm going to try and believe that you are really interested in an answer and not just out to start a flame fest (you catch more flies with honey as the saying goes). That said, keep the following in mind: OpenSolaris the distro is a work in progress. It's under active, heavy development. There will be bumps along the way. Now, updating from build to build is as easy as reading the release announcement that comes out when a new build is integrated into the repository for any 'gotchas' and then executing the steps contained therein (which eventually boils down to running pkg image-update). Here's the announcement: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2008-August/001889.html And here's the link contained therein that tells you how to update your system: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/image-update/ Cheers, -- Glenn
