Yes.... but unless you are happy with the default names for your ABEs then you may want to use that option to. You will get tired of this but "man pkg" Default BE names opensolaris opensolaris-1 opensolaris-2 So you may want to name your "image-update" BEs with the release name pfexec pkg image-update --be-name 130 <= or whatever makes sense to you months later. > or this:Install gcc-dev > > from dev repository page on opensolaris website?

Any "image-update" after this will put that added package in the new BE though and update it if it was from the same publisher. ...Les
