I added this note as follows: ...As OpenSolaris 2008.05 is built on ZFS file system technology, it is possible to "rollback" the software installation to the state following the original installation. This step should be taken with care as all software packaging changes since installation will be lost. However, user data including the files under the /export directory will be retained.
Note: If you've already upgraded to builds beyond 86, then this rollback is neither necessary or recommended....
