One reason for that is the unsupported migration from beta to stable. If that upgrade

I'm not sure about your setup, but most production systems are
1: backedup regulary. So you have a backup of before the beta. Install it, record you tweaks as you go. beta 2 comes out, restore to ber beta, check tweaks/bugs. etc..., Final release, restore to pre beta state, instal,... 2: Many sites use kickstart. We have a set of 20 servers, and can restor any one with kickstart. Bad disk? replace, and boot kickstart disk. 15-20 minutes later it's back up. The same is true for all but one Solaris system (using jumpstart). As you set up the server for beta tests, develop a kickstart setup. When the final comes out, it will be close to what you need. Make some tweaks and It's should be up quickly. -Thomas
