Someone said liveUpgrade is a choice, but it still needs CD, Network installation/upgrade is even more complicated. Is it _so_ difficult to provide a tool for online upgrade from Internet?
Wrong. You can perform liveupgrade using an ISO image. You do not need CDs, DVDs, or any other media. lofiadm -a /path/to/my.iso mount -f hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt Then follow the normal liveupgrade process... I've done it myself a couple of times. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
