[OpenIndiana-discuss] About deleting past BEs

[Harry Putnam]

How to tell which BEs are ok to delete. What is common practice
regarding deletion of BEs?

(I do know what the `N' and `R' mean and so not to delete them)

In my current list of BE's (shown at end of post)
I see one marked as backup-1... this is not something I did purposely so
must be the result of an update.  Is there any reason not to delete that
one?

I'm thinking I could delte 0-11 including `4-backup-1' without expecting
any bad repercussions. Is that about right?

I do notice that 1 and 7 are quite a lot larger than the others (not
including the one designated `14 R') and wonder how that happens and if
it has baring on what to delete?
