OpenSolaris 2008.05 and the upcoming 2008.11 (and subsequent releases) all update via a utility called pkg which is similar to debian's apt-get. Updating to successive releases is 'generally': pfexec pkg refresh pfexec pkg image-update pfexec reboot With the release of 2008.11 we'll have seperate repositories available. A 'stable' repository which will change infrequently between releases and a 'development' repository which will change with every bi-weekly development release of the next major release. Cheers, Glenn
