Unfortunately I don't think that will work this time, as there are no repos to remove other than /dev. This system is a fresh install of snv_129 that I just installed from the CD at genunix.org a few days ago and it has the exact same problem deploying zones. Because it's a fresh new install that has had no configuration changes done to it, the only repository that is set up is the /dev repository which is set up by default when you install the operating system. Here is the output from pkg authority: root at solarisunix:~# pkg authority PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI opensolaris.org (preferred) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ root at solarisunix:~# Is there perhaps something about the way that the /dev repository is configured that causes it to fail? If you want to conduct some research on the problem, just install snv_129 into virtualbox and try to create a zone right after the OS installation has completed and you will see the problem. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
