Barbara,
The new Intro could use some more work. The first few
statements seem to be lacking a solid definition of what a
boot environment is. I suggest the following edits for the
first page:
Could the title be just "Introduction to Boot Environments"
A boot environment is a bootable instance of an OpenSolaris
operating system image plus any other application software
packages installed into that image. You can maintain multiple
boot environments on your system, and each boot environment
could have different software versions installed.
Upon the initial installation of OpenSolaris onto your system,
a boot environment is created. Use the beadm(1M) utility to
administer additional boot environments on your system.
Why Use Multiple Boot Environments?
With multiple boot environments, the process of updating
software becomes a risk free operation because you can
create backup boot environments before making any software
updates to your system. If needed, you have the option of
booting a backup boot environment.
thanks,
