I'm afraid I haven't tried booting off a usb flash drive myself, and while Google shows me some complaints about usb flash performance it's not clear to me if there is a known problem. However, I can answer your second question, the bug and feature trackers for Openindiana are hosted on the Illumos site, here: https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana > > > Third after my sata install was complete and i got networking configured, > tried to use package manager to check for updates - it detected an update to > ZFS 0.5.11 (Build 5.11-0.148) > - anyhow I hit ok and got this: > " Preparing... > Gathering package information > > Error: > This is an Live Image.
