[This is related to another thread, but to me, in 'Help' for 'discussing difficulties in getting, building and installing OpenSolaris' seems a veritable contender of its own]
It was a revelation some 10 years ago to me, that it could be done in Linux: Reinstall the OS from scratch and not touch /home. Even though the Solaris tradition is not necessarily the stand-alone desktop, we are moving there. Can it be done as easily as it ought to be, to make it an extra sales argument? The whole 'restore' is - as far as I can make out - somewhat missing in (Open)Solaris. Again, I don't intend to get hints to Flash-archives or backup here. Rather a restore of an underlying OS, same version, on the very same machine, without touching /export. On ZFS. Can it be done? Uwe -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
