Hi, thanks for work and some questions:

1.Update from Media to newer OI:
Can one update current oi_147 installation using downloaded oi_148.iso
Live DVD image?

2. Fresh install of new BE of OI on existing zpool:
Is there a manual how to install fresh copy of OpenIndiana 148 in the
new Boot Environment, like fresh install on existing root zpool?
I would like to have a fresh start OI, beside previous BEs and
programs/installs

3. Dev /update publisher for Program and system updates:
How program updates (like Firefox, Thunderbird, security updates of
other packages) will be handled at a later time (We need to have IPS dev
/update publisher for this)

4. Illumos OS/Net integration:
If I install OI_148 and then compile Illumos OS/Net and use it that way,
will everything work fine?
E.G. What would be best/major steps for users in doing testing and
contributing to Illumos integration in OpenIndiana?

BTW, I could not do GUI log in into 148 after update from 147, since X freezes the next moment (bug is there since snv_132 and it seems that I am unable to use it anymore on Dell Latitude D620 Nbook.
Not to mention that Suspend to ram worked on Illumos ON months ago and it still does not on OpenIndiana.
Also VirtualBox internal networking does not work for me on OpenIndiana AND USB support is not activating since closed source .pkg package of Virtualbox is not recognizing oi_ but expects snv_ version of the OS. Any workarounds?
Also How to update FF/TB, etc, before new /dev OI release?
Should we not have some kind of service publisher for dev releases?

When first dev release with Illumos bits will be there?
