That's new versions in the repository, right? But what I'm really after is
either a downloadable bootable CD image, or the ability to create one
from current bits. In other words, I'm not going to wipe what's currently
on the machine until after I've verified using the Live CD that OpenSolaris
works to my satisfaction and I'm not going to be left with a brick.

(Wiping the machine would be rather irreversible. And it's not like my
work systems where I can reimage if anything goes wrong.)

I presume that it ought to be fairly easy for me to build my own livecd
using the distro constructor, which would be an entirely acceptable
solution. How hard is that?
