ABE's are managed by the beadm command which is pretty simple.
man beadm
Plus any time you run the "pkg image-update" (GUI or CLI) it will
automatically create the update in an ABE. The "pkg image-update"
command has a "--be-name <name>" option so you can define your own name
rather than the default "opensolaris-1" etc. The "pkg image-update"
also sets the just created BE to be used at the next reboot by
default. The "beadm activate <name>" allows you to control that.
man pkg

can you please give me the simplest procedure to install the alternat
environment with 111b. I finally got a dual-boot config working on my notebook
with a linux distro and don't want to screw it up...I am somewhat a newbie at
this...Thanks
Can alternate boot environments be deleted later to save space too?
Yes "beadm destroy <name>" <= Find name from "beadm list"
I would say test on your desktop but you will have to wait for build 131
to come out first since you cannot go backwards on creating builds.
