The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_101 and snv_101a
including major fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image
Packaging System (IPS). This build is an initial release candidate
build for the OpenSolaris 2008.11 release. For this build, the
recommended minimum memory size is 768MB or greater.
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so using the "image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or
by the "Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
For important information about "image-update", see the instructions at
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/image-update/
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
ISO images for CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being made available for this
build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are provided as follows
Primary Languages CD, gzip compression, 681MB

that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script

Special NVIDIA considerations
=============================
This build includes the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, version 177.80.
This updated driver no longer supports a number of legacy chipsets
which are documented below. When updating systems with such chipsets,
one can either remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if it exists, or to
continue using an accelerated driver, legacy SVR4 packages are
available that can be used instead of the bundled driver
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
In order to install one of these legacy packages, the bundled driver
should be removed using the following commands
$ pfexec pkg uninstall slim_install
$ pfexec pkg uninstall NVDAgraphics
followed by downloading and executing the legacy self-extracting
archive.

Known issues in this repository update
======================================
2900 FireFox 3.0.1 core dump on exit of gmail. snv 95
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2900
Using versions of the Adobe Flash Player plugin prior to
version 9.0.125.0 may cause Firefox to exit prematurely.
Work-around:
Install version 9.0.125.0 or greater of the plugin and
then restart Firefox.
3262 pkg image-update symbolic link error
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3262
Updating an image using "pkg image-update" may fail with the
following error
OSError: [Errno 90] Number of symbolic links encountered during
path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS:
'/tmp/<some path>/var/svc/profile/inetd_generic.xml'
Work-around:
Remove /var/svc/profile/inetd_generic.xml and rerun the
"pkg image-update".
3597 Unable to install OpenSolaris with 512 MB base memory
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3597
The OpenSolaris Live Media cannot be booted on a system with
only 512MB of memory or if it boots, it runs extremely slowly.
Work-around:
None at this time. At least 768MB of memory is a
requirement for now.
4391 "OSError: [Errno 12] Not enough space"
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4391
Updating an image using "pkg image-update" may fail with the
following error
OSError: [Errno 12] Not enough space
Work-around:
Either add additional swap to the system (see the
swap(1M) manual page for more details) or close some of
the open applications. After performing either of
these steps, the command can be retried.
4645 after sys-unconfig, cannot see questions due to graphical boot
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4645
When booting after having used sys-unconfig(1M), a graphical
boot screen appears with no completion of the boot process
after several minutes.
Work-around:
Disable the graphical boot temporarily by typing "e"
when the initial GRUB menu appears. Then using the
arrow keys, navigate to each of the following lines and
type "d" to clear them
splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm
foreground d25f00
background 115d93
Then navigate to the "kernel$" line, type "e" to edit
this line and backspace to remove the text
",console=graphics". Finally, press RETURN followed by
a "b".
