One clarification here: The current Solaris update finds insufficient
room on the root partition to keep two copies of the kernel. The effect
of this has been that if a private workstation botches the update, the
only redress is to re-install from scratch.
If the root partition were bigger, the old version could be kept around
as a fall back.
