You do have to download the iso images again, but you don't have to reinstall. Live Upgrade will upgrade your system without requiring downtime during the upgrade, and without a reinstall. See the live_upgrade(5) man page for details. The underlying packaging tools are able to read from URLs, but the regular upgrade process itself is not yet able to do that, and there's no place with discrete packages available. You might want to ask about futures for install on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
