You don't have to reinstall, you can always create new boot environments and experiment with them as much as you want to:
$ pfexec beadm create osol-test then reboot, choose it from grub and here you are in a new environment, you can change authorities, remove packages, etc.. and this will not affect your main environment, if you want to destroy the new boot environment, just boot into your main one and type: $ pfexec beadm destroy osol-test Btw, the issue you are seeing might be related to the fact that you installed packages from dev, it might be fixed in newer dev builds nowadays. I suggest you just use the command line for now to install the packages, as it's quite straightforward. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
