So this means that if I wait for deduplication to show up in the OS dev repository, then I can install 2009.06 and the run pkg image-update. This would update me to build 125 (or whatever) with deduplication, although I'd have to wait for 2010.02 (or whatever) to have that functionality in a "non-dev" version. > There is on OpenSolaris equivalent to grabbing just the kernel source > for Linux. I assume you mean "no" OpenSolaris equivalent. Thanks for the explanation! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
