That ouput is the same as the output posted above.

It'd probably take me a week to figure out how to get a screen shot,
but the dialog box is fairly simple to describe.

In the list toward the bottom of dialog box it says:

   Repo Name             Preferred        enabled
  opensolaris.org        [X]              [X]

And thats it.

First I changed the preferred designation from dev to opensolaris.org.
When I saw that had not changed what `pkg search' shows, I then
completely removed `dev' from the dialog.   And as explained above the
only repo in there now is opensolaris.org.  And it has both preferred
and enabled designations.

I get the part about the name I give (release-repo above) but:

   Where you have `-P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' 

Is the `release' actually the word release or some number goes there?
I ask because I haven't seen that kind address for the released
version before

So far I've only used (inside pkg manager)  http://pkg.opensolaris.org
and http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev

I thought http://pkg.opensolaris.org meant the released version.... I
haven't seen any other repo address showing
`pkg.opensolaris.org/release' the only two I've used or seen (as above):

  http://pkg.opensolaris.org
  http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev

So I'm confused as to what `release' is supposed to represent in your
command line.
