This entire post concerns the Solaris Express Community Release zipped ISO 
images, not the Open Solaris tarballs themselves.

I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a senior moment for me :-) but I 
seem to recall that the zipped ISO images in the Solaris Express Community 
Release page, were, a week or so ago, at level b20 (thus named `sol-nv-b20-*').

Tonight, clicking on the "Solaris Express Community Release" link on the 
OpenSolaris Download Center page, brings  you through the usual Login page ( 
which has the "Your Selection: Solaris Express Community Release" title 
bar..."), where you must authenticate--all as normal.

Then, after authentication, you are deposited on the Solaris Express Community 
Release page--which has the normal eight zipped IOSs (4 for SPARC and 4 for 
x86...

But, as of today, all are at level `b18' (the file names are all of the form 
*-b18-*).

I already have in hand the CDs of the ISO images for b19 and b20, which I'd 
already burned some days ago, and I'm actually running the b19 set on one 
machine tonight.  Thus I must have gotten them from this same "Community 
Release" page at  some point in the very recent past.

Has the Community Release site been regressed, or am I mentally page faulting 
to unbacked virtual storage? :-)

Incidentally, as of this afternoon, if I came into that same page from 
www.sun.com (instead of from  www.opensolaris.com), having asked for the master 
download title list, selecting Solaris Express and authenticating as usual, I 
was presented with `b17' ISOs.  Apparently b18 ISOs show only if you come in 
from the OSol page, and I can't account for how I have the "b20" ISOs in my 
hand!
