has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_100a including major
fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System
(IPS).
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.
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/

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.
2980 Vermillion Build 97 (Gnome 2.23.6 Desktop) - Typing "gedit" or
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2980
When starting the installer from the live CD, an error message
box is displayed
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration
information for gui-install. Some of your configuration
settings may not work properly.
Also, the date and time in the installer's Time Zone, Date and
Time screens may be incorrect and cannot be changed to the
correct date.
Work-around:
The error message should be ignored, and the date and
time can be reset after installation.
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".

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3958
The installer will appear to hang near the end of the
installation on systems with less than 1GB of memory.
Work-around:
The installation will eventually complete after search
indicies for the packaging system have been built.
Alternatively, allocate more memory (at least 768MB) to
the system.
6712204 [nevada] gnome-terminal fonts look bad
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6712204

opened. Instead, an window is displayed with the following
error
Window manager "Metacity" has not registered a
configuration tool
Work-around:
Manually copy the following file into place
$ cp -p /usr/share/applications/metacity.desktop \
/usr/share/gnome/wm-properties
and then reselect the preference dialog.
