That brings up another question. Let's say that the currently active BE doesn't have all the packages listed in redistributable installed and one updates a new BE as I described earlier. I was under the impression that doing a pkg install of pkg:entire only updates installed packages and doesn't install new ones whereas pkg install pkg:redistributable installs the missing packages. Am I right in thinking this? -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems http://opensolaris.org/os/project/kerberos/
