I think some additional examples in the zoneadm man page that use specific brand options would be helpful and in the brands.5 man page additional explanation as to which of the things in the See Also section are brand instances and also that these brand instance man pages contain information on zoneadm subcommand arguments that are associated with that particular brand. -- Will Fiveash Oracle Solaris Software Engineer Austin, TX, USA _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
