OpenSolaris will be getting "Solaris 10 branded zones", which should, in theory, allow you to mix S10 updates in OpenSolaris zones. I don't imagine this will ever get putback into Solaris 10 itself. Regardless, you can't do this now, to the best of my knowledge. You could use LDOMs if your SPARC supports them, or Xen, or VirtualBox. My first recommendation would be using LDOMs, though. -- bda cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk. _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
