Previous: The boot Script
The update script controls the updating of software packages. This is described in more detail below and completely replaces the updatelf script previously used under Solaris to update software using lfu [2]. update is also capable of running at install time when it uses LCFG resources to configure those aspects of the machine which are too difficult to change while the system is running; for example, the primary network address and the disk partitioning. The installation process is described in more detail below (section 4.1).
