Yea, it's probably just locking up each time. Ok, I'll have the image in a few mins, will burn, import, scrub and export. Fingers crossed. Incidentally, the reason it wasn't updated much was that doing a pkg command came back with an error akin to "can't access the repository". At the time I assumed it was thanks to Oracle and everything was closed down now. I don't keep up with the politics much. Are updates still available? Is it just something going on with that machine or a global thing? Many thanks _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
