The above comment seems to imply that there is a non-BFU way to do upgrades. Is that so? (Perhaps sun online update? For which I assume I need a subscription?). I've tried googling and read all the docs I can find, do I have it correct then that these are the alternatives: (1) Update ON only (via BFU) and slowly watch the rest of the system get out of date, applying adhoc consolidation updates when things get bad (2) Regularly download full CD/DVD sets and upgrade the whole system (3) Sun online update? Is there perhaps some sort of automated approach that I may have missed that could possibly be used to keep the non-ON parts of the system up-to-date, eg. scripts that will 'mass get' all the missing consolidations and build them? Many thanks, Jonathan. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
